Center pivot irrigation system with uniformity of application of water under the corner arm

This invention describes a center pivot irrigation system designed to spread water evenly, especially under its movable corner arm. It uses a main sprinkler arm and a corner arm, both fitted with nozzles and electronically controlled valves. A central controller opens and closes these valves in specific timed patterns, called pulsing patterns, to ensure water is applied uniformly across the field. The system specifically details valve open/close cycles lasting between 20 and 90 seconds, with the corner arm's pulsing pattern potentially differing from the main arm's.

Why it matters: Since 2015, the cost and availability of robust, low-power microcontrollers and wireless IoT communication have significantly improved. This makes distributed, precise valve control for uniform water application more economical and easier to implement.
