Model Description
This model assumes the presence of a steady beam of pulsar emission whose directly randomly changes. If this beam sweeps across the line of sight of an observer, it may be observable as an FRB. The duration of the FRB depends on the speed at which the beam moves across the sky, and hence a wandering beam mitigates the enormous power and high spin-down requirements of giant pulse and flare models.
