Appeal No. 97-3561 Application No. 08/352,190 This is a decision on the appeal under 35 U.S.C. § 134 from the examiner’s rejection of claims 1-20, which constitute all the claims in the application. An amendment after final rejection was filed on August 16, 1996 but was denied entry by the examiner. The invention pertains to an interferoceiver and a method for operating an interferoceiver. More particularly, an RF signal train generator is provided with one or more RF delay loops. The RF delay loops store received RF signals, generate replicas of the stored signals, and align and vary the alignments of the regenerated replicas. Representative claim 1 is reproduced as follows: 1. An interferoceiver comprising an RF signal train generator; wherein the RF signal train generator comprises one or more RF delay loops; wherein the RF signal train generator further comprises means for receiving RF signals from a source; wherein the RF delay loops comprise means for storing received RF signals, for regenerating replicas of stored RF signals, for aligning and varying alignments of regenerated replicas.
