15 results about "Electrically small antenna" patented technology

An electrically small or electrically short antenna is an antenna much shorter than the wavelength of the signal it is intended to transmit or receive. Electrically short antennas are generally less efficient and more challenging to design than longer antennas such as quarter- and half-wave antennas, but are nonetheless common due to their compact size and low cost. Technically, an electrically short antenna has length 2h, such that 2πh/λ≪1, where λ is the free space wavelength.

Parametric matching methods for broadband, high sensitivity reception with electrically small antennas

A matching technique for receivers with ESA so that the receiver can achieve low noise performance over a broad bandwidth. An electrically small dipole is matched directly to a parametric amplifier, without using any inductors. The parametric amplifier operates in a time-varying fashion, driven by a higher RF frequency pump, and exhibits a high impedance, time-varying capacitive load to the ESA. Therefore, the low frequency voltage output from the ESA is detected at the input of the parametric amplifier, being amplified and upconverted to the proximity of the pump frequency at the output with minimum contamination of noise in this process.
