Radiation synthesizer systems provide efficient wideband operation with
loop antenna elements which are small relative to operating wavelength.
Energy dissipation is substantially reduced by cycling energy back and
forth between a high-Q radiator and a storage capacitance under control of
a switching circuit. Systems using multi-segment loop antennas match input
impedance to switching circuit parameters. Use of such antennas in
crossed-loop configurations excited in quadrature and supported on a
wearable garment provide body-borne antennas with isotropic type coverage.
With light-weight flexible construction, a wearable radiating system can
avoid any need for visually identifiable features and provide effective
antenna pattern coverage regardless of the wearer's body orientation,
whether standing, prone or otherwise.
