    摘要: Various examples are provided related to anisotropic constitutive parameters (ACPs) that can be used to launch Zenneck surface waves. In one example, among others, an ACP system includes an array of ACP elements distributed over a medium such as, e.g., a terrestrial medium. The array of ACP elements can include one or more horizontal layers of radial resistive artificial anisotropic dielectric (RRAAD) elements positioned in one or more orientations over the terrestrial medium. The ACP system can include vertical lossless artificial anisotropic dielectric (VLAAD) elements distributed over the terrestrial medium in a third orientation perpendicular to the horizontal layer or layers. The ACP system can also include horizontal artificial anisotropic magnetic permeability (HAAMP) elements distributed over the terrestrial medium. The array of ACP elements can be distributed about a launching structure, which can excite the ACP system with an electromagnetic field to launch a Zenneck surface wave.

    摘要: The use of wireless power distribution equipment can be used to distribute power across various regions. Power from a power plant can be distributed to sub-transmission stations. For example, a transmission probe can be configured to launch a transmission frequency guided surface wave for power transmission over a transmission region. A sub-transmission station can receive the transmission frequency guided surface wave. A sub-transmission probe can be configured to launch a sub-transmission frequency guided surface wave to transmit power over a sub-transmission region to transmit power. A distribution station can receive the power from the sub-transmission frequency guided surface wave.

    摘要: Disclosed a guided surface waveguide probe including a charge terminal configured to generate an electromagnetic field and a support apparatus that supports the charge terminal above a lossy conducting medium, wherein the electromagnetic field generated by the charge terminal synthesizes a wave front incident at a complex Brewster angle of incidence (θi,B) of the lossy conducting medium.
