A conformal antenna system comprising one or more proximate antenna elements for very reliable localized reception and transmission of radiowave energy and power particularly in frequency controlled VHF, UHF and microwave spectrum is described. The system incorporates effective angle or proximity dependent interference mitigation for conventional transmitters/receivers or master controlled constellations of wireless devices, and is suitable for temporary or permanent installation and use in a variety of outdoor and in-building locations. The antenna elements are configured and optimized for close proximity but unobtrusive positioning near the point of use on stages, in concert halls, movie studios, houses-of-worship, and convention centers, and are configured to be relatively unaffected by people or furniture in very close proximity. Methods for manufacturing and using close proximity antennas are disclosed, as are systems and methods for the generation and control of signals thereto.
An antenna system with a plurality of floor antennas comprising:
The antenna system of claim one wherein each of said first and second antennas are embedded in flat polymeric mats.
The antenna system of claim one wherein each of said first and second antennas are connected to separate receiver circuits.
The antenna system of claim one wherein said near radiofrequency sources comprise at least two of said sources each on virtually the same frequencies.
A method of manufacturing a floor antenna assembly comprising steps of:
A non-interfering, space diversity frequency sharing and reusing system for use within an area defined as a stage, a building, a performance space, or a house of worship, comprising a plurality of receivers tuned to the same frequency with pickup points placed a spaced distance apart, and, a constellation of radiofrequency sources having a frequency output effective to zero beat, whereby the capture effect at the discriminator of a receiver is effective to receive the first, nearest proximity radiofrequency source without beat notes or interference and reject a weaker signal on the same frequency from a second, less proximate radiofrequency source.
