    摘要: The multiple polarization loop antenna includes a circularly polarized loop antenna, which may utilize a loop electrical conductor and two signal feedpoints along the loop electrical conductor separated by one quarter of the length of the loop circumference for a signal feedpoint phase angle input difference of 90 degrees. Each of the signal feedpoints may include a loop discontinuity, so that at least one signal source coupled thereto provides circular polarization from the loop electrical conductor. The circularly polarized loop antenna provides an increase in gain and decrease in size relative to the dipole turnstile. It can provide two orthogonal polarizations from two isolated ports, and the polarizations may be dual linear or dual circular.

    摘要: The hybrid junction includes four electrically conductive planar windings, circular or rectangular, arranged so as to lie along an imaginary spherical or cylindrical surface. Each of the four electrically conductive windings is rotated from adjacent windings by about forty-five degrees. The four electrically conductive windings are electrically insulated from each other and each include a respective signal port. The hybrid junction automatically splits and/or sorts signals. Signals applied to any port will split equally between the opposite port pairs. One output signal will be in-phase with the input signal, and the other output signal will be shifted by 0 or 180 degrees from the input signal. The input signal is split equally, output coupling may be half power or loose, and there is isolation between the output ports. The hybrid junction operates over a broad bandwidth.

    摘要: A method of producing hydrocarbons from a well. The method begins by injecting steam into a well. The bitumen in the formation is then heated with the injected steam, followed by ceasing the injection of steam into the well and then by soaking the bitumen with the injected steam and collecting the heated oil. Steam that has condensed is revaporized by directing RF/MW radiation to the steam allowing for more bitumen to be produced without injecting more steam. In addition, some of the steam could become superheated, wherein the temperature of the superheated steam is greater than the temperature of the steam. The bitumen is heated by the revaporized steam and the superheated steam, followed by soaking the bitumen with the revaporized steam and the superheated steam. Hydrocarbons are then produced from the well.

    摘要: An apparatus for radiating RF energy from a well structure that provides a circuit through which RF power may be driven to heat a hydrocarbon deposit that is susceptible to RF heating. The apparatus includes a source of RF power connected at one connection to a conductive linear element, such as a well bore pipe, and at a second connection to a conductive sleeve that surrounds and extends along the linear conductive element. The sleeve extends along the linear conductive element to a location between the connection of the source of RF energy to the linear conductive element and an end of the linear conductive element where the sleeve is conductively joined near to the linear conductive element. The apparatus may include a transmission section that extends from a geologic surface to connect to a radiating apparatus according to the invention.

    摘要: A method for heating a hydrocarbon resource in a subterranean formation having a laterally extending wellbore therein may include supplying radio frequency (RF) power at a settable frequency from an RF radiator positioned within the laterally extending wellbore to heat the hydrocarbon resource and start formation of a steam bubble adjacent the laterally extending wellbore while sensing an impedance matching value of the RF radiator. The method may also include lowering the settable frequency at least one time based upon the sensed impedance matching value as the steam bubble grows. The frequency may rise after the steam bubble is formed and induction heating operation occurs.
