Abstract
Disclosed are embodiments of portable antennae and systems for radio communications requiring low-noise receiving means, or in which interconnecting transmission line insertion loss between receiver or transceiver equipment and a distant antenna impairs such radio communications. A method of use is also disclosed, in which an antenna in a passive state may be turned on automatically upon the initiation by a radio operator of a transmission.
Claims18
An apparatus and system comprising:
- an Antenna coupled to a Selective Power Separator, said Selective Power Separator thence coupled in each of one or more receive paths to a Radio Frequency Power Protection Input Device, each said Radio Frequency Power Protection Input Device in a receive path thence coupled to a Low Noise Amplifier, each said Low Noise Amplifier in a receive path thence coupled to a Radio Frequency Power Protection Output Device, and each said Radio Frequency Power Protection Output Device in a receive path thence coupled to a Selective Power Combiner, and said Selective Power Separator further coupled in one or more transmit paths to said Selective Power Combiner;
- a Radio Frequency Interface coupled to said Selective Power Combiner;
- a Controller Circuit comprising signal processing means, coupled to said Antenna, to said Selective Power Separator, to every Radio Frequency Power Protection Input Device, to every Low Noise Amplifier, to every Radio Frequency Power Output Device, to said Selective Power Combiner, to said Radio Frequency Interface, and to a User Interface comprising Input Means and Display Means.
