    摘要: An antenna array comprising a ground plane and a plurality of elements mounted thereon, said elements being capable of emitting and receiving ultra wideband emissions. Elements are arrayed on the ground plane in two parallel rows, a transmitting row, and a receiving row, such that a given element in the receiving row is aligned in at least one direction with a corresponding element in the transmitting row. Additionally, the elements are configured on the ground plane to elicit a symmetrical product response in the azimuthal plane, and to produce horizontally polarized signals. An alternative embodiment places the elements with unique inter-element spacing within the rows. An embodiment comprises a fence structure between rows. A method for use comprises the step of transmitting a signal via an element in the transmitting row and receiving said signal through an element in the receiving row, not aligned with the transmitting element.

    摘要: A method of near-field electromagnetic ranging and location exploits the long-wavelength, near-field characteristics of low-frequency RF signals like those in the vicinity of the AM broadcast band. These signals are robust against scattering from small objects and only mildly perturbed by the urban landscape including building structures. They are thus amenable to an RF fingerprinting approach exploiting a coarse calibration to capture the behavior of the gradually varying signal characteristics. In embodiments, a method of near-field electromagnetic ranging and location may exploit transmit tags transmitting to an infrastructure of locator-receivers, or locator-receiver tags detecting signals from an infrastructure of fixed transmitter beacons. In still further embodiments, fixed transmitter beacons may be supplemented by uncooperative signals sources including signals-of-opportunity like AM broadcast band signals.

    摘要: A semi-coaxial horn antenna transmits and receives electromagnetic waves, including impulse radio waves. The antenna includes an inner conductor that is surrounded by a cone-shaped dielectric, and an outer conductor that is conformally attached to the cone shaped dielectric. In embodiments, the inner conductor is a hollow metallic cylinder that is able to slide over a separate metal shaft, which may be part of a portable hand-tool device. The dielectric constant of the cone shaped dielectric may be selected to match a target medium. The outer conductor has a cross-section that is substantially an arc shape, and defines a sector angle &phgr; that determines an impedance along the length of the antenna.

    摘要: An electromagnetic antenna apparatus exhibits a generally continuous signal response between a first frequency and a second frequency, and further exhibits a deviation from the signal response in a frequency region centered substantially at a selected frequency between the first frequency and the second frequency. The apparatus includes: (a) an antenna transceiving element; (b) a feed structure coupled with the antenna receiving element for communicating transceiving signals with the antenna transceiving element; and (c) a discontinuity structure in the antenna transceiving element coupled with the feed structure. The discontinuity structure is configured for effecting return of selected transceiving signals to the feed structure as return signals. The return signals effect the deviation.
