A portion of the first quadrature burst field is circumferentially contiguous with the first normal burst field and spans a portion of a radial extent of the first normal burst field. The second normal burst field is radially aligned with and away from the first normal burst field and spans a portion of a radial extent of the first quadrature burst field. The second quadrature burst field is radially aligned with and away from the first quadrature burst field and spans a portion of a radial extent of the second normal burst field. The first normal burst field and the first quadrature burst field have a same first phase and the second normal burst field and the first quadrature burst field have a same second phase. The first phase is different than the second phase.
