A control system comprising an electrical circuit that produces distortion where
the electrical circuit has a frequency band of operation. A pilot modulated carrier
signal is frequency hopped about the frequency band of operation. The hopping pilot
modulated carrier signal does not interfere with any signal applied to or generated
by the electrical circuit as it is not at any time located within the frequency
band of operation. Information obtained from the hopping pilot modulated carrier
is provided to the control system which uses such information to cancel the distortion
produced by the electrical circuit.
