Abstract

An antenna assembly performs a method for operating an electrically small antenna (ESA). The antenna assembly includes a drive circuit for operating the ESA. The drive circuit includes a resonator having a first resonant frequency, a variable coupling element that controls an electrical connection between the drive circuit and the ESA, a first modulator that modulates the variable coupling element at a first tonal frequency, and a second modulator configured to modulate the variable coupling element at a second tonal frequency. The first tonal frequency is a sum of the first resonant frequency and a second resonant frequency of the ESA. The second tonal frequency is a difference between the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency.
