Method and apparatus for coupling an antenna to a device

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a system that receives, by a feed point of a dielectric antenna, electromagnetic waves from a core coupled to the feed point without an electrical return path, and radiates a wireless signal responsive to the electromagnetic waves being received at the aperture.

Method and apparatus for sensing a condition in a transmission medium of electromagnetic waves

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a device that facilitates transmitting electromagnetic waves along a surface of a wire that facilitates delivery of electric energy to devices, and sensing a condition that is adverse to the electromagnetic waves propagating along the surface of the wire.

Guided-wave transmission device with non-fundamental mode propagation and methods for use therewith

TL;DR: In this article, a coupler couples the first electromagnetic wave to a single wire transmission medium having an outer surface, to forming a second electromagnetic wave that is guided to propagate along the outer surface of the single-wire transmission medium via at least one guided wave mode that includes an asymmetric or non-fundamental mode having a lower cutoff frequency.

Continuously transmitting and receiving radar

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method to select a pair of quadrature related control vectors from those control vectors synthesized on the basis of minimising leakage in the outputs of the quadratures related mixers (18,20).

Satellite transmission system with adaptive transmission loss compensation

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method for adjusting satellite communication signal transmit power for signals transmitted to a localized region within a satellite coverage area utilize real-time information on weather conditions (172) and/or actual path losses (174) within the localized regions to adjust the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) of the satellite beams (188) to minimize the total radio frequency (RF) power required for transmission.

Radio antenna system

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method for simultaneously generating, with the same radio antenna apparatus (10), a number of narrow beams and a wide beam, covering substantially the same area covered by the individual pointed beams together.
