An orthogonal electrical coupling relies on electromagnetic coupling for the inner connection, as opposed to direct contact between conductors. A conductor on one of the lines is connected to a ground plane which is adjacent to a resonant slot. Microwave energy is coupled to the slot, thereby exciting the slot. A second conductor is on the opposite side of the ground plane from the first conductor. Microwave energy from the excited resonant slot passes to the second conductor, thereby allowing contactless interconnection between the first conductor and the second conductor. The coupling may emphasize certain modes of propagation relative to other possible modes of propagation. Specifically, the ground plane and slot may be enclosed in a cavity of a size such that the cavity does not support any natural mode propagation inside the cavity. Instead, the coupling may have a cavity in which a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode is propagated.

The present invention is a computationally-efficient compensator for removing nonlinear distortion. The compensator operates in a digital post-compensation configuration for linearization of devices or systems such as analog-to-digital converters and RF receiver electronics. The compensator also operates in a digital pre-compensation configuration for linearization of devices or systems such as digital-to-analog converters, RF power amplifiers, and RF transmitter electronics. The compensator effectively removes nonlinear distortion in these systems in a computationally efficient hardware or software implementation by using one or more factored multi-rate Volterra filters. Volterra filters are efficiently factored into parallel FIR filters and only the filters with energy above a prescribed threshold are actually implemented, which significantly reduces the complexity while still providing accurate results. For extremely wideband applications, the multi-rate Volterra filters are implemented in a demultiplexed polyphase configuration which performs the filtering in parallel at a significantly reduced data rate. The compensator is calibrated with an algorithm that iteratively subtracts an error signal to converge to an effective compensation signal. The algorithm is repeated for a multiplicity of calibration signals, and the results are used with harmonic probing to accurately estimate the Volterra filter kernels. The compensator improves linearization processing performance while significantly reducing the computational complexity compared to a traditional nonlinear compensator.

A brushless electrical machine, usable as a motor, generator, or alternator, has a rotor that is comprised of a rim portion and a substantially open center portion. The rim portion has a partially hollow core in which a stationary field coil is supported. Current to the field coil generates magnetic flux that circulates in a poloidal flux path in the rim, crossing a single magnetic air gap formed by the rim. Protrusions in the rim located around the circumference form poles all having the same polarity. As the rotor rotates, the flux exiting the poles passes through multiple stationary armature windings around the circumference that are located in the single air gap. An AC voltage is induced in the armature windings from rotation.

The present invention provides an advanced adaptive predistortion linearization technique to dramatically reduce nonlinear distortion in power amplifiers over a very wide instantaneous bandwidth (up to 2 GHz) and over a wide range of amplifier types, input frequencies, signal types, amplitudes, temperature, and other environmental and signal conditions. In an embodiment of the invention, the predistortion linearization circuitry comprises (1) a higher-order polynomial model of an amplifier's gain and phase characteristics—higher than a third-order polynomial model; (2) an adaptive calibration technique; and (3) a heuristic calibration technique. The higher-order polynomial model is generated by introducing, for example, a plurality of multi-tone test signals with varying center frequency and spacing into the power amplifier. From the power amplifier's corresponding output, the nonlinearities are modeled by employing a higher-order curve fit to capture the irregularities in the nonlinear transfer function. Different distortion transfer functions can be implemented for different operating conditions. The adaptive calibration technique is based on a feedback analysis technique, which updates the applicable distortion transfer function by analyzing the error signal between the introduced input signal and the output signal in real-time. The heuristic calibration technique implements different distortion transfer functions based on historical operating conditions and optimal configurations of the power amplifier.

A vertically polarized traveling wave antenna is omnidirectional, bottom-mounted, and bottom-fed. A robust center coax provides a self-supporting mechanical structure. Multiple dipoles are capacitively coupled to the coax in quads, with a first two dipoles placed on opposite sides of the center coax and spaced by a quarter wavelength along the coax from the second two, which couple at right angles to the first two. This matched-layer spacing cancels the reactive components of the impedances of the dipoles. Beam tilt is readily incorporated over a wide range by adjusting layer spacing to add phase taper. All dipoles are oriented parallel to the coax axis, with opposite “hot” (center coupled) dipole elements oriented oppositely to each other. A radiated signal thus has rotating phase, when viewed from above, but is vertically polarized at each azimuth. A lightweight radome, provided for weather protection, is not needed for structural integrity.
