Site specification for directional guided surface wave transmission in a loss medium

摘要

In the present invention,Several examples are provided for site specification for directional guided surface wave transmission in a loss -bearing medium. In accordance with this invention,In an example,A probe site includes a spread interface including first region and second region comprising different means of conducting losses. A guided surface wave guide probe positioned adjacent to the first region and to the second region can generate at least one electric field to launch a supe waveGuided RF along the propagation interface in a radial direction defined by the first region and restricted by the second region. The propagation interface may also include additional regions comprising the same or different means of conducting losses. One or more of the regions may be prepared regions. In some casesRegions may correspond to a terrestrial environment (e.G.A coastline) and water (for example,Sea water along the coast line).
