Field emission structures comprising electric or magnetic field sources
having magnitudes, polarities, and positions corresponding to a desired
spatial force function where a spatial force is created based upon the
relative alignment of the field emission structures The magnetic field
sources may be arranged according to a code having a desired
autocorrelation function. In particular, a high peak to sidelobe
autocorrelation performance may be found desirable. Specific exemplary
embodiments are described having non-parallel linear substructures. The
non-parallel linear substructures may use the same or different codes and
may have none, one, or more magnets in common. Other embodiments include
substructures spaced according to a spacing code. Exemplary spacing codes
include, but are not limited to Golomb ruler or Costas array. A polarity
code may be applied across the substructures.
