Abstract:
An antenna, comprising:(a) a cubic core, having a first axis, a second axis, and a third axis; (b) a first conductor, where the first conductor is wound around the first axis of the core a user-definable number of times such that atmospheric noise picked-up by the first conductor causes a voltage generated by an amplifier to be greater than a noise voltage of the amplifier, where the windings of the first conductor are equally spaced so that a self-resonant frequency of the first conductor is greater than a maximum frequency of interest to be received, and where a resistance of the first conductor is less than an inductive reactance of the first conductor; (c) a first dielectric layer surrounding the first conductor, having at least one-opening therein; (d) a first electrical shield surrounding the first dielectric layer, having at least one-opening therein; (e) a second dielectric layer surrounding the first electrical shield, having at least one-opening therein; (f) a second conductor, where the second conductor is wound around the second dielectric layer a user-definable number of times in the second axis of the core such that a voltage produced there from is identical to that produced by the first conductor, where the windings of the second conductor are equally spaced so that the self-resonant frequency of the second conductor is greater than the maximum frequency of interest to be received, and where a resistance of the second conductor is less than an inductive reactance of the second conductor; (g) a third dielectric layer surrounding the second conductor, having at least one-opening therein; (h) a second electrical shield surrounding the third dielectric layer, having at least one-opening therein; (i) a fourth dielectric layer surrounding the second electrical shield, having at least one-opening therein; (j) a third conductor, where the third conductor is wound around the fourth dielectric layer a user-definable number of times in the third axis of the core such that a voltage produced therefrom is identical to that produced by the first conductor, where the windings of the third conductor are equally spaced so that the resonant frequency of the third conductor is greater than the maximum frequency of interest to be received, and where a resistance of the third conductor is less than an inductive reactance of the third conductor; (k) a fifth dielectric layer surrounding the third conductor, having at least one-opening therein; and (l) a third electrical shield surrounding the fifth dielectric layer that dampens received frequencies above the highest frequency of interest.
