The gravitational lensing of gravitational waves might cause beat patterns detectable by interferometers. The feature of this kind of signal is the existence of the beat pattern in the early inspiral phase, followed by seemly randomly changing profile. After the strain peaks for the first time, the signal takes the usual waveform and the strains peaks for the second time. Once this signal is detected, the actual magnification factors can be obtained, so the true luminosity distance of the binary system is known. We can also infer the mass of the lens and the cosmological parameters with unprecedented precision due to the high accuracy in the measurement of the waveform.
