Abstract:
Disclosed are various embodiments for superposition of guided surface wave launched along the surface of a lossy medium. In one example, Zenneck surface waves are launched along a surface of a lossy conducting medium using an array of guided surface waveguide probes and a predefined field pattern of the Zenneck surface waves is maintained. The individual ones of the guided surface waveguide probes include a feed network electrically coupled to a charge terminal. The feed network provides a phase delay that matches a wave tilt angle associated with a complex Brewster angle of incidence associated with the lossy conducting medium.

Claim (Index 17):
The system of  claim 16 , wherein the first, second and third guided surface waveguide probes are excited by an excitation source, where excitation of the second guided surface waveguide probe is delayed with respect to excitation of the first guided surface waveguide probe by a defined phase difference, and excitation of the third guided surface waveguide probe is delayed with respect to excitation of the first guided surface waveguide probe by a second defined phase difference.
