Abstract
Polarization current antennas include an arc-shaped dielectric radiator, electrodes, and a feed network. The electrodes and feed network are configured to generate an electric field within the dielectric radiator. The electrodes are positioned on the top and bottom of the dielectric radiator and the electromagnetic radiation is emitted through the outer surface thereof. Phase differences between excitation signals supplied to the electrodes may be selected so that a speed of a volume polarization distribution current pattern that is generated in the dielectric radiator will be substantially equal to the speed of light within the dielectric radiator. The antenna emits both conventional spherically decaying electromagnetic radiation and as non-spherically decaying electromagnetic radiation that decays as a function of distance d at a rate that is less than 1/d2. The non-spherically decaying radiation includes a highly focused beam that has an angular beamwidth that narrows as the distance d increases.
