Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for wireless energy transfer by scalar-longitudinal electromagnetic propagating waves. The scalar wave beam antenna is further enhanced with additional active and parasitic resonant elements for increasing the penetrating and far field distance transfer of energy. A receiving antenna module is designed for effective capture of longitudinal and transverse waves. Presented are uses for this system to illuminate areas without the need for wires, powering electronic devices, charging batteries remotely, new style communications, and military applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a series fed collinear antenna which includes cone-shaped radiating elements energized via a series fed common transmission line. Phasing stubs are provided between selected radiating elements and are oriented such that the phasing stub improves gain and reliability by affecting the signal to produce a beneficial elevational coordinate signal pattern. A ground plane may be provided proximate the lower end of the antenna structure to further enhance the radiated signal. The ground plane may be formed in the shape of a dome having an apex vertically disposed above a rim.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antenna assembly for transmitting and receiving electromagnetic waves. More particularly, this invention relates to a wideband and multiband omnidirectional antenna assembly for sending and receiving radio waves. Specifically, this invention relates to a radiative antenna element formed by way of a single-fed spiraled sheet of conductive material. The conductive material is interlaced with a dielectric material to form the radiative element. The radiative element includes a height of substantially less than ¼ of the characteristic wavelength of the lowest operating frequency.

Phasing stubs are provided between selected radiating elements and are oriented such that the phasing stub improves gain and reliability by affecting the signal to produce a beneficial elevational coordinate signal pattern. The radiating elements may be cones. Each cone has an associated base diameter. The base diameter may be uniform, resulting in similarly sized cones, or a cone may have a distinct base diameter resulting in differently sized cone elements.

Abstract: Antenna assemblies are provided for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals over an enhanced frequency band. An assembly includes an electrically conductive ground reference and a radiative element formed from an electrically conductive material and comprising an apex.
