ELECTRICALLY SMALL, SOURCE DIRECTION RESOLVING ANTENNAS
First Claim
1. A receiver system comprising:
- a plurality of antennas comprisinga first antenna configured to receive a first signal; and
a second antenna configured to receive a second signal; and
a signal processing circuit comprisinga first resonant loop mounted to receive the first signal from the first antenna; and
a second resonant loop mounted to receive the second signal from the second antenna, wherein the first resonant loop and the second resonant loop are coupled to generate a first output signal and a second output signal that are a function of the first signal and the second signal, andfurther wherein a first phase difference between the first output signal and the second output signal is greater than a second phase difference between the first signal and the second signal.

Abstract
An electrically small receiver system is provided. The receiver system includes a plurality of antennas and a signal processing circuit. The plurality of antennas includes a first antenna configured to receive a first signal and a second antenna configured to receive a second signal. The signal processing circuit includes a first resonant loop and a second resonant loop. The first resonant loop is mounted to receive the first signal from the first antenna. The second resonant loop is mounted to receive the second signal from the second antenna. The first resonant loop and the second resonant loop are coupled such that the first output signal and the second output signal are generated as a function of the first signal and the second signal. A phase difference between the first output signal and the second output signal is greater than a phase difference between the first signal and the second signal.
