Abstract
A single-wire electric transmission line system that includes a power sources having first and second poles and a phase shifting device, coupled to one of the poles of the power source, in such a manner that the phase shifting device shifts the phase of a first signal propagating through the pole such that the shifted phase of the first signal will be essentially identical to the phase of a second signal propagating through the other pole. The shifted first signal is added to the second signal with essentially the same phase of second signal, whenever both poles are connected together to form a single-wire, through which the resulting added signal propagates.

A single-wire electric transmission line system comprising:
- a) a power sources having first and second poles;
- and
- b) phase shifting device, coupled to one of the poles of said power source in such a manner that said phase shifting device shifts the phase of a first signal propagating through said pole such that the shifted phase of said first signal will be essentially identical to the phase of a second signal propagating through the other pole, and such that the shifted first signal is added to the second signal with essentially the same phase of second signal, whenever both poles are connected together to form a single-wire, through which the resulting added signal propagates, or:
- c) two phase shifting devices, coupled to each of the poles of said power source in such a manner that each of said phase shifting device shifts the phase of a first signal propagating through said pole and the phase of a second signal propagating through the other pole such that the shifted phases of both signals will be essentially identical, and such that the shifted signals are added with essentially the same phase, whenever both poles are connected together to form a single-wire, through which the resulting added signal propagates.
A single-wire load, comprising:
- a) a load having first and second poles;
- and
- b) a phase shifting device coupled to one pole of said load, in such a manner in such a manner that said phase shifting device shifts the phase of a first signal propagating through said pole such that the shifted phase of said first signal will be essentially in opposite phase with respect to the phase of a second signal propagating through the other pole of said load, or:
- c) two phase shifting devices, coupled to each of the poles of said load in such a manner that each of said phase shifting device shifts the phase of a first signal propagating through said pole and the phase of a second signal propagating through the other pole such that the shifted phases of said signals will be essentially in the opposite phases with respect to one another.
