摘要: A phased array of electrolytic fluid antennas comprising: a center conduit filled with electrolytic fluid; a current probe having a central hole therein, wherein the center conduit is disposed within the central hole; and a plurality of electrolytic fluid antennas composed of free-standing streams of electrolytic fluid circularly-distributed about the center conduit, wherein each electrolytic fluid antenna is fluidically coupled to the center conduit by a fluid transmission line of a desired length, and wherein each electrolytic fluid antenna is configured to turn on or off in real time to change the characteristics of the phased array.

摘要: An antenna arrangement has radiation modes for antennas distributed across a geometrical shape, which is a bounded volume in three dimensions or a conformal surface of the bounded volume. A signal network couples between an electrical signal and the antennas with a taper along a selected dimension selected from the three dimensions of the bounded volume. The taper is specified by a selected dimension and a selected mode, which is selected from the radiation modes. Basis polynomials are indexed over the radiation modes and a specified basis polynomial is indexed at the selected mode. The specified basis polynomial gives the taper of an amplitude of the electrical signal at each of the antennas. An operating method determines a respective array factor for each distinct combination of one of the three dimensions and one of the radiation modes, and then selects the distinct combination with a desired array factor.

摘要: A phased array of electrolytic fluid antennas comprising: a plurality of electrolytic fluid antennas, wherein each electrolytic fluid antenna is configured to produce a free-standing stream of electrolytic fluid from a corresponding nozzle; wherein each of the electrolytic fluid antennas is fed by magnetic induction by a corresponding current probe; and wherein the electrolytic fluid antennas are disposed with respect to each other so as to form a volumetric-array configuration such that not all of the nozzles are positioned within the same plane.
