Patent ID: 8125385

Claim:
A radiation emitting source for sensing targets comprising: a dipole antenna array ( FIGS. 2( c ), 2 ( d ), 2 ( e ), 2 ( f ), 2 ( g ) having elements excited at predetermined phases including a curved solid dielectric strip ( 205 ) having negative ( 202 ) and positive ( 204 ) ions and having electrodes ( 210 ) coupled above and a ground plate ( 212 ) coupled below and said dielectric strip ( 205 ) having a finite polarization region ( 214 ) created by selectively applying a spatially varying electric field by applying finite voltages ( 215 ) to a select group of electrodes where said voltages are produced by amplifiers ( 217 ) coupled to said electrodes ( 210 ); said amplifiers ( 217 ) selectively varying, oscillating or switching on or off the voltages applied to the electrodes ( 210 ) to effect movement of the finite polarization region ( 214 ) along the curved solid dielectric strip ( 205 ) introducing centripetal acceleration in the finite polarization region and creating a traveling wave oscillating superluminal polarization current ( FIG. 2( b )) source.
