Method and apparatus for monitoring parameters of an RF powered load in the presence of harmonics

A method and apparatus for measuring electrical characteristics (e.g. current, voltage, phase, etc.) between a power source and a load at a set of harmonic frequencies to determine information about the load (e.g., load impedance, power dissipation, etc). According to one aspect of the invention, a first circuit detects a set of electrical characteristics (e.g., current, voltage, and / or phase) of a signal between the power source and the load. A second circuit, coupled to the first circuit to receive the set of electrical characteristics, provides data representing the set of electrical characteristics at a harmonic frequency associated with the signal. A third circuit, coupled to the second circuit, receives the data and determines information about the load (e.g., impedance, power dissipation, discharge current, etc.) at the harmonic frequency. The information could be used in any number of ways, such as controlling an impedance matching network that may be used in conjunction with the power source and the load, identifying / monitoring a load condition(s), etc.

An antenna is disclosed to efficiently ionize the atmosphere for the purpose of reducing the aerosol counts, and therefore the number of poluted particles in suspension in the atmosphere, by deposition to ground. The antenna includes peripheral nodes and a central node. Each of the peripheral nodes is connected to adjacent peripheral nodes through peripheral spokes. The peripheral nodes are also connected to the central node through radial spokes. Electric power is applied to the peripheral spokes and the radial spokes causing the antenna to charge the atmosphere through the emission of ions. The antenna minimizes an attenuation factor that reduces ionization efficiency and reduces the land requirements for its installation.

Digital television broadcast signal receiver

In multi-directional antennas connected to a digital TV broadcast signal receiver, when a receiving channel is selected, if an antenna is set to the same direction as a previously stored direction, and signals cannot be received, the previously stored direction data is deleted, and if the best receiving direction is searched by the auto-scan, and a receivable direction does not match the previously stored receiving direction, the stored direction information is all deleted, the entire area scan is performed over all directions for all channels, and a new receiving direction for each channel is determined by the obtained best receiving direction. By doing this, when signals becomes unreceivable on a given channel while receiving them with a direction-adjusted smart antenna, meaningless time for adjusting directions is saved and the best reception condition is always obtained quickly by detecting the direction misalignment as soon as possible and updating the direction data on all other channels as well in the early stages.
