1. An apparatus for distributing a sinusoidal signal comprising:

  • means for generating said sinusoidal signal with a first temporal phase φ

    g ;

    means for receiving the signal with a specific second temporal phase φ

    i, said receiving means being substantially energy lossless; and

    means for propagating the signal, said propagating means being substantially energy lossless, having a substantially energy lossless finite boundary, having a geometry independent of a wavelength of said sinusoidal signal, and coupled to said generating and receiving means to cause said sinusoidal signal to propagate through said propagating means to form a standing wave so that said specific second temporal phase φ

    at said receiving means, where δ

    i is a small, location-dependent phase offset, and n, is a location-dependent non-negative integer.
