A fully analytic treatment of resonant inductive coupling in the far field (Q765786)

This paper deals with various phenomena that involve a resonant inductive coupling (RIC) in the far field. One solution to improve the performance is to develop a hybrid system. This is demanded by the fact that the transmitting antenna is superconducting but the receiving antenna is not. In the present paper, it is argued that the performance of such a system is expected to fall somewhere between the fully superconducting and fully non-superconducting versions. In the first part of the paper under review, a model to predict this hybrid performance is provided. The remainder of the paper looks at the application of a hybrid RIC system to close-range communications that would be impervious to the attenuation experienced by radiative systems.
