VARIABLE FREQUENCY RECEIVERS FOR GUIDED SURFACE WAVE TRANSMISSIONS

摘要

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for a guided surface wave receiver, comprising circuitry that identifies at least one frequency from a plurality of available frequencies associated with a transmission of a plurality of guided surface waves along a terrestrial medium; and circuitry that adjusts a frequency at which the guided surface wave receiver receives the transmission to the at least one frequency via the terrestrial medium.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a guided surface wave receive structure configured to obtain electrical energy from a guided surface wave traveling along a terrestrial medium; an electrical load coupled to the guided surface wave receive structure, the electrical load being experienced as a load at an excitation source coupled to a guided surface waveguide probe generating the guided surface wave; processing circuitry that identifies at least one frequency from a plurality of available frequencies associated with a transmission of the guided surface wave traveling along the terrestrial medium; and processing circuitry that adjusts a frequency at which the guided surface wave receive structure receives the transmission to the at least one frequency via the terrestrial medium.
