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 embodiments for anchoring a guided surface waveguide probe. A guided surface waveguide probe can be suspended from a support structure manufactured from a nonconductive material, the support structure comprising a plurality of beams. A base bracket is configured to receive at least one of the plurality of beams and further comprising a hole. The base bracket rests upon a pad. An anchor bolt protrudes from the pad through the hole of the base bracket. Also, a fastener engages the anchor bolt to secure the base bracket to the pad.

Abstract: Disclosed is an exemplary guided surface waveguide probe configured to launch a guided surface wave along a surface of a lossy conducting medium. In one embodiment, the guided surface waveguide probe comprises a charge terminal elevated to a height above the lossy conducting medium; a support structure that supports the charge terminal; at least one section of internal coil that is supported within the support structure and is coupled to an excitation source; a conductive tube conductively coupled to the at least one section of internal coil at a bottom end, and a plurality of coupling conductors that extend radially away from a top of the conductive tube to a plurality of points located on an inner surface 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 is a support structure (530) for a guided surface waveguide probe. In some embodiments, the support structure includes vertically oriented corner columns (1004) that define outer corners of the structure, vertically oriented intermediate columns (1006) that define portions of outer sides of the structure, each intermediate column being positioned between a pair of corner columns, framing members that extend between the corner columns and the intermediate columns, plates located at junctions between the framing members and the columns, and fasteners (1086) located at the junctions that secure the framing members and the plates to the corner columns and the intermediate columns, and that secure the framing members to the plates, wherein the corner columns, intermediate columns, framing members, plates, and fasteners are all made of a non-conductive material.
