Abstract: A guided surface waveguide probe structure is described. In one example, the guided surface waveguide probe structure includes a charge terminal elevated to a first height above a lossy conducting medium and a phasing coil elevated to a second height above the lossy conducting medium, wherein the first height is larger than the second height. The structure further includes a non-conductive support structure to support the phasing coil and the charge terminal. The non-conductive support structure includes a truss frame secured to and supported over a substructure, and the truss frame supports the phasing coil at the second height above the lossy conducting medium. The non-conductive support structure also includes a charge terminal truss extension supported by the truss frame, and the charge terminal truss extension supports the charge terminal at the first height above the lossy conducting medium.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for eliminating or minimizing atmospheric discharge within the guided surface waveguide probe. Atmospheric discharge can be minimized to a nominal amount according to one or more factors, such as, for example, the use of a corona hood, the effective diameter of the internal coil, the effective diameter of the tube, and the shape of the charge terminal.

Abstract: Embodiments of a guided surface waveguide probe (200a-f, 500) are disclosed. One embodiment, among others, has a guided surface waveguide probe (200a-f, 500) including a charge terminal (T1, 520) elevated over a lossy conducting medium (203, 503) by way of a support structure (530), and a substantially planar support platform (510, 510') situated under the support structure (530) and co-planar with a roof of a substructure of the guided surface waveguide probe (200a-f, 500). The support platform (510, 510') can be made from or include an insulating material part that is sufficiently insulating to prevent degradation of the support platform (510, 510') caused by the electric fields. A primary coil (269, 620) associated with the guided surface waveguide probe (200a-f, 500) can magnetically couple with the phasing coil to excite the charge terminal (T1, 520) to produce a guided surface wave on the lossy conducting medium (203, 503).

Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for determining device locations using guided surface waves. A system (406), may include a guided surface wave receive structure (R), a processor (1003), a memory (529, 1006), and an application (533) stored in the memory executable by the processor. The application may cause the system to decode a message included in a guided surface wave received with the guided surface wave receive structure, wherein the message defines an authorized area (603) for the system. The application may then cause the system to determine a current location of the system. Subsequently, the application may cause the system to determine that the current location of the system is outside of the authorized area.
