Latest Patents
One of Andrew Fairbanks' notable patents is an electromagnetic wave generator based on non-linear composite materials. This invention discloses a transmission line that includes a first conductor, a second conductor, and a composite disposed between them. The composite comprises non-linear inclusions, which include both non-linear dielectric and non-linear magnetic materials. The non-linear dielectric inclusions are selected from a variety of materials, including barium strontium titanate (BST) and lead zirconate titanate, among others. The non-linear magnetic inclusions include nickel zinc ferrite (NZF) and manganese zinc ferrite. The specific composition of the non-linear inclusions by volume is about 25% NZF, about 10% BST/15% NZF, and about 15% BST/10% NZF. This innovative design allows the first conductor, second conductor, and composite to form a capacitor, enhancing the efficiency of electromagnetic wave generation.
