The present invention concerns a complex synthetic channeling and/or energy harvesting method and/or system for canalizing physical & information signals which characterize any occurring physical event.
In particular, this invention focuses on a complex synthetic method/system called Hurricane Spread & Compression System (HSCS).
HSCS allows to develop a resultant complex signal (complex vector), which is the linear combination of a multiplicity of L tri-dimensional (3-D) complex orthogonal signals (where L is an integer number, the value of which is included into an [1; ∞] interval). These orthogonal signals are all correlated to the same f0 frequency. Each l-th of them (where l=1, . . . , L, is the related mode index) occupies a limited required frequency bandwidth BBl≤f0.
According to the method envisaged by our invention, each above mentioned orthogonal signal is generated in bijection with the one of the L independent physical signals.
Such independent physical signals are not orthogonal ones but simultaneously occupy overlapping independent frequency bands, BBl.
At the same time, according to our method, each l-th above mentioned orthogonal complex signal is well represented as a linear combination of KM orthogonal complex signals (where K and Mare integer numbers, the value of which is included into an [1; ∞] interval, k=1, . . . , K is the related frequency step index and m=1, . . . , M is the related azimuth phase step index).
The resultant complex vector composed by the LKM orthogonal signals occupies a limited frequency bandwidth, BWRF≤BW0, (e.g. BW0=f0). The value of the latter equals the maximum one amongst L input signals BBl with 1=1, . . . , L, BWRF=max[BBl].
The set of L orthogonal signals generated by the invention univocally characterizes a specific complex algebraic vector space which is a linear combination of 3LM scalar dimensions (3LKM-D) and 3LKM unit vectors.
Consequently, the complex vector space assigned by the method of the invention is an algebraic Hilbert space.
Conversely, in the complex vector space generated according to the invention by the method linear combination of 3LKM scalar dimensions, 3LKM-D, and 3LKM unit vectors, it is always possible to detect each and every L orthogonal complex vectors which the invention method generates in bijection with the same L physical signals.
This way, the invention allows to multiply by L the capacity of the available frequency band. The invention method sets the L value, irrespective of the available frequency band and the central frequency.
Our method also allows to allocate assigned not zero resultant Poynting vector value along propagation axis too. Otherwise the method of invention allows to measure the possible Poynting vector value when different from zero even all along the propagation axis.
It is to be underlined that such performances, which would be impossible to achieve without our invention, increase the efficiency of:
the Transfer channel
the Store space
the Signal
Techniques earlier our invention only use mono dimensional (1-D) or planar (2-D) vector interferometer methods. For example, in electromagnetic field propagation such former techniques use TEM TE e TM real mode approximation only (see ref. [10]).
As it is well known (ref. [7] [10] [11], in such approximation former systems fail to consider negligible the second time derivatives of electric (E) and magnetic(B) fields phase, as well as the quadratic terms which have been derived by the first time derivatives of both electric (E) and magnetic(B) fields phases; furthermore, they neglect the longitudinal electromagnetic components of the fields themselves.
In former methods, e.g., in those one used for astrophysical observations of weak radiations coming from cosmos bodies, (see ref. [2], [3] e [13]) criticalities like the following ones can be traced:
The scope of the present invention is:
Object of the present invention is a method and/or a system, as mentioned in the attached responsibility declarations, which are integrating part of the present description. The present invention concerns physical signals processing.
A generic l-th (with l=1, . . . L) periodical physical signal, is represented by a periodical complex function SFl(t). SFl(t) describes a generic natural or artificial physical event in the time-space domain. It is defined in a Euclidean three-dimensional (3-D) space. SFl(t) arrives at the HSCS input.
Examples of physical events are atomic radiations or acoustic, or climatic, or thermodynamic, or gravitational wave propagation, for example the one coming from any universe black hole, or electromagnetic wave, for example the one coming from the Early Universe etc. . . . events.
The following should be considered indicative only but not restrictive. First, the description of our invention, shows a generalized algebraic model which is valid for every proposed specific invention implementation, and following after it details each of that proposed specific invention implementation.
Each implementation model detailed below is to be considered as an integral part of the basic model and it is also to be considered as necessary to characterize the invention method.
Features and advantages of our invention are highlighted in the detailed description of some implementations provided for in the figures described below:
The HSCS of the invention system generates a 3LKM-D dimensional algebraic Hilbert space. It is in bijection with a plurality of three-dimensional (3-D) complex vectors which are defined in complex scalar Cartesian (x, y, z) and/or vector Euclidean (x, y, z) space reference systems.
Clearly, such space reference systems are related to scalar (ϕ, θ, z) and/or vector (ϕ, θ, z) ones, respectively.
The general l-th independent electric signal, SEl(t), which transports the contents of information (or energy) to be processed, may appear in the following two algebraic form:
SI
l(t)=F[m(t); f0]=ml exp[j2π(f0-fBBl)t].
Each l-th (where l=1, . . . , N) SIl(t), electric signal function, has its own BBl independent frequency bandwidth, Furthermore:
BB
l
≥f
sl
≥f
BBl; ΣLl=1BBl≤Lf0; ΣLl=1ΣMm=1BBl≤LMf0; and BW0≥BBl.
so that:
ΣLl=1BWSk≤(L)BW0 and ΣLl=1ΣMm=1BWSl≤(L)MBW0
HSCS system develops a linear combination of L assigned independent not orthogonal functions (or algebraic scalar polynomial functions), ml(t) (or SIl(t), in bijection with L spatial (3-D) orthogonal complex vectors functions. All the orthogonal complex vectors generated by the invention method are correlated to the frequencyf0.
The HSCS (3-D) orthogonal complex vectors identify an univocal (3-D) complex vector space, which is an algebraic Hilbert space.
The complex vector space assigned frequency bandwidth is BWRF if each of the independent ml(t) (or SIl(t)) frequency bandwidth BBl is limited, too.
Each HSCS l-th orthogonal vector generated by the invention is equipped with the same requested temporal phase, f0t, and an assigned l-th (3-D) specific spherical spatial phase, ψl(lf0; lϕ).
ψl(lf0; lϕ) is assigned by the invention method and is time independent. Once f0 is set, ψl(lf0; lϕ) belongs to the l relative index value only. The invention sets ψl(lf0; lϕ) as composed by a pair of time independent planar phases:
Conversely, by the invention method HSCS it is possible to detect the same vector space orthogonal complex vectors (
Separately or simultaneously HSCS, of the invention, extracts all the required 3-D orthogonal complex vectors which are necessary and sufficient to reconstruct all the required L ml(t) or SIl(t).
The operating principle of the invention method is based on the HSCS operator, which is an integral part of the invention as well as a characteristic one of it. According to the invention method, the HSCS is in turn composed by four basic operators, which are described as follows:
The transform operator indicated as HSCSLKM (see
Ge(λ0) Transducer Operators
The invention transducer operator is defined by its assigned transfer function Ge(λ0).
Ge(λ0) transforms the HSCSLM output in physical signal (see
Ge(λ0) Sensor Operators
The invention sensor operator is defined by its assigned transfer function Gc(λ0)
Gc(λ0) transforms the physical signal in a specific electrical signal (see
Usually, Gc(λ0) is the inverse of the Ge(λ0) or in many others applications Ge(λ0)≠1/Ge(λ0) is possible. Its implementation depends on the specific invention application. HSCS uses Gc(λ0) to detect simultaneously or separately all the LKM orthogonal complex vectors which are correlated to f0.
HSCSLKM−1 Anti-Transform Operators
HSCSLM−1 anti-transform operator (see block 16000 of
HSCSLKM−1[HSCSLM]=ΣLl=1ΣKk=1ΣMm=1HSCSlkm−1[Slkm(t)].
HSCSLKM−1 of the invention reconstructs all the L requested ml(t) or SIl(t) independent functions.
Therefore, HSCS of the invention is composed by two different parts which are considered as two separate subsystems:
OAM spatial phase resultant generated by invention assigned complex vector 3LKM-dimensional space is indicated in the following:
ΨLM(Lf0; Lϕ)=Ψ[ψlkm(lf0; lϕ; k; m); L, K, M]
Once f0 is set, the invention ΨLM(Lf0; Lϕ) belongs to the L, K and M parameters values which are assigned by the invention method. ΨLM(Lf0; Lϕ) is time invariant and is assigned by the invention method.
l-th Harmonic Phase
l-th harmonic phase of invention is: flt=lf0t.
The relative carrier frequency of the l-th OAM mode is generated by the invention method. It is related to the fundamental frequencyf0=2πΩ0. It depends on the specific application, f0 and l index. Its expression, e.g. in the simplest case, is:
ΩRFSl=Ω0-ΩBBSl; and dϕ/T0=ΩRFSl.
Besides, according to the invention method what results is the following:
channel index: l=1/tgθRFSl.
Three of the possible development surroundings of the invention are considered here. Without excluding any other development surroundings, they are listed below in illustrative but not restrictive way:
The invention implementation modalities are:
Emitter: [HSCSLKM Ge(λ0)] (see
Collector: [Gc(λ0) HSCSLKM−1] (see
Five possible typologies of implementation are considered. Each of them is to be considered as an integral part of the invention.
They are identified by their specific level of implementation complexity. The invention method implements each of them by using a different architecture of the HSCS. Each typology allows a different improving factor of the related phase error margin. That phase error margin factor is inversely proportional to the specific level of implementation complexity. They are all feasible and listed below:
The invention method uses only one functional scheme (see
With reference to the figures, according to the invention, a method is supplied to canalize and transfer a multiplicity of periodical independent physical signals represented by SFl(t), complex functions in the time domain t, where L is an integer number, the value of which is included into an [1; ∞] interval and l=1, . . . L, each one occupying a BBl, independent frequency band, e.g. BBl=[(f0-fBBl), f0], Some of such independent signals are e.g.: electrical, electromagnetic, digital and/or analog, mechanical oscillations, pressure waves, optical signals. Starting from these independent signals the invention method generates a single complex signal, which is the resultant signal of L orthogonal components. Each l-th of that orthogonal components is in bijection with the respective SFl(t). The single complex signal is correlated at a frequency f0 and occupies a single frequency bandwidth equal to BWRF=max [BBl], the largest band among said BBl bands. The invention method performs the following steps:
According to the invention, step H mey be also realized by a simple collection node of all the orthogonal signals produced in step G.
According to the invention, steps E and F may be also inverted.
According to the invention, steps E and/or F and/or G and/or H and/or I may be also performed at the same time.
According to the invention, the transducer of step I may be also a signal transmission means with unitary transfer function (e.g. a cable connector).
According to the invention, it is further provided a method for the extraction of a plurality of periodical physical signals represented by complex functions in the time domain t SFl(t) where L is an integer number the value of which is included into an [1; ∞] interval and l=1, . . . L, each of which occupy an independent frequency band BA (e.g. BBl=[(f0-fBBl), f0]), such as electric, electromagnetic, digital, mechanical oscillation, pressure waves optical signals.
The extraction starts from a single signal correlated to a frequency f0 occupying a band whose width is equal to the largest band among said bands RBl, BWRF=max[BBl], wherein the following steps are performed:
According to the invention, said an only signal may be also the signal emitted by said emitter-transducer 13000) of signals tuned to f0, according to any claims 1 to 5.
According to the invention, the polarization of step I may be also the same or is different from the polarization of step J.
According to an aspect of the invention, in step F and/or correspondingly in step L, the value of M and/or K and/or L is infinite, thus obtaining infinite continuous chirps and linear phase modulation Components, wherein the summation is replaced by integral operation.
According to an aspect of the invention, the starting periodic physical signal set is subdivided into a plurality of periodic physical signals, to each element of the plurality being applied the steps of the method.
According to an aspect of the invention, it is provided a computer program, comprising code tools set up in such a way that, when running on said computer, perform steps B to H and/or K to N according to a method of any previous claim.
According to an aspect of the invention, it is provided a system 10000 for the canalization and/or extraction of a plurality of physical signals, wherein the system comprises:
The following implementation example can be applied in the most general case (therefore in all a, b, c, d, e, cases already described). Such invention implementation is specifically best for the more complex case of theoretical algebraic Continuous Spectrum (Continuous Chirp-Continuous Phase, already mentioned as “a” case).
Actually its implementation requires a greater processes' precision and reiteration technological level than the other four cases (b, c, d and e) according to requested approximation degree.
Once the following values have been fixed:
Here we refer to the flow diagram in
The generic signal ml(t)=ml exp(j2πfBBlt) , or SIl(t) as an alternative, reaches the input of a standard interface 11001. After being filtered by the anti-alias Polyphase one of 11002 block, the signal is sent to the sampler of 11003 block which could be a Serial Digital to Digital or an Analog to Digital standard converter, at a frequency rate of f=fCK. The frequency rate of the example has been set to fCK≥2LKMf0. The output of 11003 block is sampled and, in case conveniently de-modulated by 11004 block. The output of 11004 reaches the entry of the optional stage 11005. The 11005 output, corresponding to complex vector ml(t)=ml exp[j(2πfBBlt)] sampled at fCK, is the output of this process phase of the invention.
Optionally, this output can be further processed by a 11006 FFT stage to extract the data related to the ml(t) message frequency spectrum. The aim of this optional process is to generate control data to be sent in cascade to a standard controller of 11007 block.
The 11007 controller puts the “Register control data” into a proper digital format. Each specific lkm-th “Register control data” is conveniently transmitted to the lkm-th related register of the successive stage (12108 block of
System generator is implemented in this case with a bench of L*K*M direct digital synthesis (D.D.S.) generator devices (see the implementation block diagram of

The “Register control data” designated to the specific information of the “SSB delta phase”, assigned by the invention, and contained in the 12108 block, enter the combiner, 12110 block of
Then, each element of the I & Q pair is auto-correlated by a first resonant stage 12114, having a multiplier tuned to fRF as algebraic model. This tuned multiplier is built by a couple of synchronous digital resonators put in parallel and f0 correlated (at least for a small phase error of ε proportional to ΩBBl/Ω0). Those synchronous digital resonators work simultaneously, at the same temporal and angular conditions, and on the same signal ml(t)) linked.
The two I and Q pairs out bounding the 12114 block are respectively represented by two synchronized polynomials. Those synchronized polynomials identify an infinite number of simultaneous intermodulation products related to the same typical single carrier frequency f=fRF ∀ml(t) (having a small proportional phase error less than the corresponding ΩSl/Ω0). The two I and Q pairs enter the second “resonant” 12115 stage. This second “resonant” 12115 stage has an algebraic model of a multiplier. Inside the 12115 stage, each simultaneous component related to each of the two input sequences, is modulated by each of the identical and simultaneous components of the other one sequence present there.
The I and Q pair output from 12115 block enters a digital low-pass filter FIR 12116 having f−1dB=(f0-fBBl)[(l-1)+k/K]. The low-pass filter FIR 12116 is in charge of harmonic suppressing having f>(f0-fBBl)[(l-1)+k/K] frequency, which is typical of the l-th sequence couple I and Q.
The output sequence pair (I and Q) of 12216 block of
Here a 12218 block complex double mixer (one cosf0t, and the other sinf0t) generates two quadrature outputs, for each I and Q. These output signal pairs have been generated with a general complex vertical and horizontal polarization, designated as xVI and xHI (for 1) and as xVQ and xHQ (for Q), each respectively with cosf0t or sinf0t carrier.
Combiner, 12219 block, follows in cascade, and performs separately two vector additions in a 3-D space. It follows that, those two resultants vectors (V and H respectively indicated) are both correlated to thefo carrier, and each in quadrature (90° out of phase) to the other one:
Optionally, each of the LKM output components outgoing from 12119 or 12120 blocks, enter in a D/A converter (12221) (in case an Analogic field to be generated is required). Output 12221 block is the input of 12222 block, a low-pass or a pass-bandwidth filter (also optional). In the example explained here, it is a pass-bandwidth filter BWHSCS=BWRF in charge of letting go each orthogonal component overlapping in the BW0 band.
For simplicity, here in the most general case, it is an Operator that, based on the polarity whatever assigned (linear, circular or even elliptic) by the previous stage, generates the algebraic field depending on each I and Q pair outputs from 12119 or 12120 preceding stages (see
The output signal from 12222 block enters 13023 block. This block provides a transfer faction equal to Ge(λ0) already described.
Actually, the transducer is optional: for the easiest case like a data transfer over a data network (wired network) the transducer might not be used. The equivalent is obtained setting the transferring functions =1(Ge(λ0)=Gc(λ0)=1).
13023 block output is an algebraic expression representing a field that occupies a BW0 bandwidth allocated by HSCSLKM, in an infinite complex 3-D space.
Optionally the output from 13023 block (see
This Collector Sensor performs the inverse transducer 13000 block operation and it fulfills the role of a sensor (15025 block in
All those complex 3-D modes occupy the same assigned bandwidth BW0 defined by the frequencies falling in the interval (e.g. here f=[(f0-fBWo), f0], and all are f0 correlated.
The sensor, like the transducer above, is actually optional. In effect, in the easiest case of a simple data transfer over a data network (e.g.: wired network), the sensor is not needed. This is the same as putting the sensor and transducer transfer functions to 1 (Ge(λ0)=Gc(λ0)=1).
Complex Extractor 16000 of
Here the activated L modes HSCSLM are extracted (individually or simultaneously according to the invention implementations) from any point of the field and at every t instant. Each l-th linear combination can be continuous or discrete, depending on application cases. Each l-th linear combination is represented by a complex periodic vector algebraic expression Ω0 correlated, and it is composed by 3LKM orthogonal vectors having 3LKM unit-vectors. Referring to
Optionally, a proper filter (16126 block of
In case all the L modes together are the matter of interest, then the optional filter will be a low-pass one, in order to select the frequencies contained in the [0, Lf0] interval. It is not needed, and can be skipped, in case of a data transfer on a digital data network.
The output signal of 16126 block in
Then, this stage sends the samples to 16128 stage (see
The output signal (I e Q) is sent to a LKM Polyphase filters bank. Each LKM filter is built by three stages in cascade that works at a frequency clock of fck:
The last two cascade blocks (16230 e 16231) together realize a convolution (matched Filter) that selects each lkm-th component of the orthogonal LKM ones. The sequence order of these stages can be optionally changed.
The LKM Polyphase filters bank can be realized merging the 16229, 16230 and 16231 stages in a single decimation—compressor bank made up of one Polyphase filter that processes the LKM modes together (all or some of them).
The 16231 outputs are then combined by L combiners 16232 (optionally only 1), grouping them conveniently based on the corresponding l, k and m indexes. Each combiner sums the related KM outputs, having l index, to rebuild the l-th signal ml(t) used as the input of 16233 stage. 16233 stage is a bank that executes a Fourier transform, FFT. Here (
The L combiners 16232 stages can be integrated with the FFT bank 16233 to realize a single bank
The output interface 17000 transforms at a frequency of fCK, with a process corresponding to the one described above for the 11000 blocks of
The L outputs requested (optionally a single output) coming out from 16233 block are sent to 17034 stage of
After a proper 17137 follows.

The lkm-th “Register data control” related to each l-th ml(t) output signal of 11007 block of
Each of the 12100 generators (see
The specific carrier information lkm-th “Register control data” assigned by the invention are collected by 12108 block, here e.g. the “SSB delta phase”.
The “chirp delta phase” specific information lkm-th “Register control data”, assigned by the invention, is collected by 12109 block. The “Register control data” is used to synthesize the lkm-th chirp signal into the DDS of the invention.
Each lkm-th chirp signal is f0 correlated and it is produced by a Sl(t) carrier having a frequency of fRF defined by the invention for a period T=T0.
In 12109 stage the following values are set:
This chirp modulation causes Sl(t) a frequency linear shift of Δflkm=[(l-1)+k/K] (f0-fBBl).
The value of Δflkm is established by HSCS invention method, and e.g. it is computed using a MatLab code program.
The whole process of direct digital synthesis, is implemented by the invention, providing a clock frequency of fcK, the same one of all LKM expressions of HSCS, Slkm.
12108 and 12109 stages outputs enter the combiner (see stage 12110 of
The 12110 block output of data added together are sent to 12111 block, which represents the invention phase accumulator.
Therefore, based on the data provided by 12108 and 12109 stages, each lkm-th phase accumulator 12111 outcomes the incremental phase value to be sent to 12113 block which is a “look up table”.
For every clock pulse, stage 12113 synthesizes a pair of digital sample, a real part I and an orthogonal imaginary part Q, of an assigned complex periodic function.
Please note that the accumulator input data bit number is N (where N is conveniently selected in order to achieve the resolution on the basis of the assigned frequency).
In turn, stage 12111 has a data bit number=P≤N as output.
The pair related to the 12113 block output digital signal Slkm=Slkm[fRF, ψlkm(lf0; lϕ; m)], enters 12115 block.
12115 block is a linear phase modulator that produces the lkm-th I and Q pair f0 related.
The lkm-th pair is the sub mode component having 3LKM unit vectors of the sequence.
The stage 12115 performs an algebraic model multiplier tuned to fRF. Each element of the I & Q pair is auto-correlated by the resonant stage 12115. In the stage 12115 each one of the two identical replicas of each I & Q pair, entering the two input stage, is modulated by other simultaneous one.
The I and Q pair output from 12115 block enters a digital low-pass filter FIR 12116. For example, a filter with f1dB=f0-fBBl[(l-1)+k/K]. is in charge of harmonic suppressing having f>(f0-fBBl)[(l-1)+k/K] frequency, which is typical of the l-th sequence couple I and Q.
The 12115 output represents a direct synthesis of a signal, Slkm(t), linearly modulated both in phase (linear Shift) and in frequency (chirp). Slkm(t), generated by the invention, is provided with a real part I and with an imaginary part Q squared. Slkm(t) is related to f0 frequency and turns out to be orthogonal to all the other (LKM-1) similarly synthetized by the invention (
The output generated by the two identical filters (I and Q) 12116 are synchronous signals (apart from a little phase error ε proportional to fBBl/f0) algebraically represented by a linear combination having lkm order compared with a fundamental frequency fRFl.

The “Register control data” specific for the “SSB delta phase” information, assigned by the invention, are dedicated to the invention and are collected by 12108 block. They are used to synthesize a Sl(t) carrier within the DDS of the invention.
The “Register control data” specific of the “chirp delta phase” information, assigned by the invention, are dedicated to the invention and are collected by 12109 block. The “Register control data” are used to synthesize the lkm-th chirp signal into the DDS of the invention.
Each lkm-th chirp signal is f0 related and it is produced by a Sl(t) carrier having a frequency of fRF defined by the invention for a period T=T0.
In 12109 stage the following values are set:
This chirp modulation causes Sl(t) a frequency linear shift of Δflkm=f(l-1)+k/K] (f0-fBBl).
The value of Δflkm is established by HSCS invention method, and it is computed using a MatLab code program.
The whole process of direct digital synthesis, is implemented by the invention, providing a clock frequency of fCK, the same one of all Slkm LKM expressions of HSCS.
12108 and 12109 stages outputs enter the combiner (see stage 12110 of
The 12110 block output data are added together and are sent to 12111 block, which represents the invention phase accumulator. Therefore, based on the data provided by 12108 and 12109 stages, each lkm-th phase accumulator 12111 outcomes the incremental phase value to be sent to 12112 block.
12112 block collects the “phase shift Register control data” too, which are dedicated to the specific linear phase shift modulation assigned by the method. They are used to synthesize the lkm-th phase shift modulation of the carrier Sl(t) f0 correlated signal with the specific phase shift, Δϕlkm, into the DDS of the invention. The invention defines the lkm-th azimuthal incremental phase shift value. E.g. in the case considered in
Δϕlkm=-[(l-1)+Δϕlk](m/M)2π=-l[1-(K-k)/K](m/M)2π
where Δϕlm and Δϕlmk are related to the instantaneous phase linear term of the lkm-th component Slmk(t) and both are computed by the invention method (e.g. using a Matlab code program).
The 12112 block sums the data related to the output 12111 block with the one collected by its “phase shift Register” section.
The 12112 block output data are added together and are sent to 12113 block which is a “look up table”.
For each clock impulse, stage 12113 synthesizes a pair of digital samples, one for the real part I and the other for the orthogonal imaginary part Q, of a corresponding digital complex signal of an assigned complex periodic function.
Please note that the accumulator has a number of bit data N as input from registers (where N is conveniently selected in order to achieve the resolution on the basis of the assigned frequency).
In turn, stage 12111 has a number of bit data=P≤N as output.

The program (eg. in Matlab code) used to compute the method parameter, according to the invention, is valid for all the implementation environments considered above (see
Following the computed system HSCS design parameters, according to the invention: the elementary spherical spatial phase increment, ψ0(M; f0; ϕ0); all the lkm-th vectors coefficients; all the lkm-th spherical spatial phase increments, ψlkm(lf0; lϕ; k; m); all the lkm-th azimuthal spatial phase increments, Olkm; all the lkm-th tilt spatial phase increments, θlkm.
Furthermore, if required, the tool emulates the complete emitter subsystem HSCSLKM. For instance, for the electromagnetic case, the tool computes the Poynting Vector and the specific OAM.
The single resulting complex signal, generated by the invention, identifies a specific three-dimensional (3-D) complex vector space and 3LKM unit vectors, algebraically represented by the invention. e.g. as a general linear combination like:
PP
0(jΩ)=ΣLl=1ΣKk=1ΣMm=1Slkm=ΣLl=1ΣKk=1ΣMm=1CLMSlkm exp[-jψlkm(lf0; lϕ; k; m)].
In the electromagnetic (EH) case eg., the tool computes the Poynting Vector in every related complex vector space EH field point, then in every propagation axis point too. That is possible simply solving the Maxwell equations with respect of the block 12200 (
The HSCS of the invention system generates an 3LKM dimensional algebraic Hilbert space with 3LKM unit vectors. The complex vector space is characterized by an L independent limited occupied frequency bandwidth, BW0.
In the most general case, the HSCS complex vector space generated by the invention is characterized by 3LKM complex component vectors. All of them are:
each other orthogonal
Each Complex Vector is Provided with:
Once provided specific fcK, L, K and M which are assigned by the invention method with the requested f0, the HSCS system allows:
Such gains occur because the system is capable to process also the longitudinal component power (or informative) contributions (originated by not zero value of ∂E/∂z as well as ∂H/∂z). As well known in technical literature the last mentioned properties should be impossible to achieve with former invention method.
The invention HSCS develops a field that, e.g. in the electromagnetic, is equipped with assigned OAM for any required value of:
Such OAM is stable, invariant and differs from zero independently of:
The actual channel capacity (setting, for instance for the easiest case: K=M=1) provided by the invention method HSCS, CHSCS, as well known in technical literature, is computed by the expression:
C
HSCS=2(L)BW0.
Provided the same available bandwidth, BW0, the channel capacity CHSCS is greater than the one CBWo, allowed by former invention systems. As a matter of fact,
C
HSCS
>C
BWo=2BW0, furthermore Limper L→∞CHSCS=∞.
The last expression guarantees that invention method generates a whole defined and algebraically continuum system, which is valid in an unlimited complex scalar as well as vector space.
The HSCS structure, both algebraic and implemented, does not present any singularity species, neither at its extreme, nor along its boundary.
Therefore, HSCS generated by the invention is a continuum at the infinite and along the assigned complex vector space longitudinal axis. On the contrary, in the former invention methods, it is impossible to achieve that last property.
Such complete HSCS system generated by the invention, transfers the power which is allocated using L orthogonal vectors. The L orthogonal vectors frequency bandwidth BWRF of complex vector resultant is equal to the maximum independent one, BB', related to the L input signals 1=1, . . . , L, BWRF=max[BBl].
Therefore, the L≥1 orthogonal complex mode resultant occupies a frequency bandwidth, BWoccupied≤BWRF≤BW0, while the utilized actual bandwidth, BWeffective, effective, according to the invention method is always greater than the resultant one BWoccupied:
BW
effective=ΣLl=1BBSl>BWoccupied
It is to be underlined that such performances, which would be impossible to achieve without our invention, increase the efficiency of:
Furthermore the invention method implementation, as high efficiency 2nd order wide frequency bandwidth power channeling and energy harvesting directly generates voltaic energy. It directly converts the available harvested energy, the one related to any TEM+DEM 1st order linear moment (LM) and Angular moment (AnM) (Electromagnetic, acoustic, gravitational, thermodynamics, pressure, optic, mechanic) detected along the wave propagation axis. As well-known AnM spherical spatial 2nd order wave beams power is about 80 dB greater than LM azimuthal spatial 1st order waves or wave beams.
The invention method allows to direct detect a Black Hole Gravitational signals with a 2nd order visibility degree >1/2. Usually the gravitational signal intensity is about 10−22. As well-known in literature, the complex mutual (in a space-time domain) coherence measurement of such Gravitational wave requires to analyze an extremely short bandwidth (in the ideal case it is =0), and an instantaneous time resolution, τ, that in the most favorable case, turns out to be inversely proportional to the square frequency observed bandwidth value (BW0) or the wave coherence period, τ0. Such direct measurement especially when τ>>τ0>1/BW0 could be impossible using any former method, because its 1st order visibility degree <<1/2.
The invention method allows to allocate or to measure any generated not zero resultant Poynting vector value along propagation axis of any twisted swirling field equipped with complex TEM, non-TEM, or divergent mode too.
The complex vector space is immune from any possible interferometry error due to destructive planar (2-D) interferences. Actually each of all its orthogonal complex 3LKM-D vectors components is equipped with one characteristic orthogonal spherical (3-D) spatial (time invariant) phase, ψlkm(lf0; lϕ; k; m).
The invention method has three degrees of freedom available to set ψlkm(lf0; lϕ; k; m). Such degrees of freedom are: the fundamental frequency f0; the lkm-th frequency mode lf0=flkm (or tilt plane θ); the azimuth spatial phase lϕ=Δϕlkm (or azimuth plane ϕ). Then, because of its 3-D spatial phase, ψlkm(lf0; lϕ; k; m), the invention method is immune from destructive planar phase ambiguity.
Such design three degrees of freedom available are the ones requested, and sufficient, to guarantee the generation of the LKM complex vectors space component being:
On the contrary, the former invention methods and/or systems have less degrees of freedom available (e.g. at the most only: f0 and lϕ): thus, they are not able to eliminate planar phase ambiguity with any f0 and lϕ values because they lose the longitudinal component.
The invention method, HSCS, is in the same way efficiently applicable to measure near as well far distance fields, because of its planar interferometry error immunity.
The operator, according to the invention, develops both linear and quadratic, spherical wave time—spatial (mutual) phases equation terms. Such terms are originated setting or detecting both spherical wave phases first and second time space derivatives. They contribute to generate the required complex or eventually full imaginary 3LKM-D TEM, non-TEM, or Divergent spherical (3-D) modes which satisfies the wave equation with a “Paraxial approximation”. Usually former methods neglect such terms as well as the longitudinal modes components.
The invention HSCS performs a greater approximation degree because it processes the complex or full imaginary OAM mode which are neglected or ignored by all the former invention methods. In Physics literature, such specific modes are well known as non-TEM, or Divergent mode [Electromagnetic (DEM) or Electrical (DE) or Magnetically (DM) Polarization].
As well known in technical literature, all the last-mentioned properties should be impossible to be achieved at once with the former invention methods and/or systems (see ref. [10] and [13]).
HSCS is applicable for any periodic complex function with frequency f=f0 which is included into a Low Frequency and Millimeter Wave (MMW) range interval.
HSCS is applicable for any guided or free light or laser light (e.g. Laguerre Gaussian Beam model) propagation space.
HSCS is applicable for any guided or free EM wave propagation Rx/Tx system, which TEM field is or not equipped with OAM and whatever polarization (e.g. “twisted and/or skewed” and/or Rx polarization different from Tx one).
HSCS is applicable for any guided or free EM wave propagation Rx/Tx system, which non-TEM TE or TM complex field mode are equipped with longitudinal not zero E or M component.
HSCS is applicable for any guided or free EM wave propagation, which divergent complex or full imaginary field mode are equipped with different Rx polarization kind compared with the Tx one.
HSCS is applicable for any “base band” electric signal.
HSCS is applicable for any signal which has been whatever modulated. E.g. as following:
HSCS develops systems for: information signal OAM modulation and de-modulation (mode-demod), from both base band and already up converted.
HSCS develops systems for: Spread Spectrum (SS) modulations, e.g. “Direct sequence” (SS-DS), see ref. [1].
HSCS develops a complex scalar function describing the distribution of a twisted field amplitude which satisfies the wave equation applicable to light and/or laser beam. It could be one of the following:
Such distribution is developed independently by the topological characteristics of the specific sensor.
The method of the invention, e.g. by single contemporaneously observation of the frequency wide spectrum of each one of the array antennas, develops a three-dimensional, 3-D, Early universe “Tomographic interferometer process” with 3LKM unit vectors. Such Early universe quadratic order radio telescope observation turns out to be without planar (azimuth) phase error and ambiguity. Therefore, it is full compliant with the requirements of the innovative quadratic models used in the Astrophysics research post processors new generation, which elaborate the data from radio telescope observation.
The method of the invention, besides the space requirement, power consumption and costs decrease, empowers the radio telescope performances efficiency. On the contrary all the last-mentioned properties should be impossible to achieve with former methods and/or systems preceding the invention.
Invention Advantages and Applications Following some examples of invention applications:
Such 3-D “Early Universe Tomography” approximation order, according with the invention, is quadratic. That is why it is compliant with the innovative last generation quadratic numerical simulator research models, which are already available to elaborate the data from astrophysics SKA observations to reconstruct a required coherent early universe scale. In that example the method of the invention, in addition to the decreased dimension, power consumption and costs, is capable to improve the SKA radio telescope performances efficiency. The efficiency improving factor is proportional to the following values:
On the other end all the last mentioned properties should not be achieved with former methods and/or systems preceding the invention.
An emitter sub system according with the invention here develops a required radiation composed by LKM (or NLKM) pressure waves. Each one is characterized by a central frequency value f0 (or fn) and opposite phase value respect to the phase one of the LKM (or NLKM) statistical previously observed e.g. with the invention method. The intensity, the central frequency, and the spatial phase characterizing each LKM (or NLKM) component radiation conveniently emitted by HSCS according with the invention allows a softening action on the physic natural components before statistically selected which possibly are present. Such radiated LKM (or NLKM) components may invert the natural event (here is considered e.g. Hurricane event) by softening its action depending on the values assigned to N, L, K, and M which are separately or assembly used to implement the N subsystems, according with the invention. Such implementation method is the same of electromagnetic case, except for introducing a specific electric/pressure signal transducer rather than electromagnetic/pressure one.
The present invention feasibility occurs because of the following.
First of all, a suitable “very large scale integration (VLSI) technological state of art is already available which is useful to implement present invention method. E.g. innovative and consolidate architectures and microelectronic numerical synthesis techniques are already available to develop generalized form of the transfer function algorithms according to the invention. Such architectures are possible because the state of art of ASIC as well FPGA as well GPU technology.
In addition to that, there are available programmable and reconfigurable mixed signal ASIC technology tools innovative architecture and numerical technique in order to process very high speed (MMW) complex periodic functions and signals.
The invention method generates and processes infinites Hilbert algebraic spaces, I valid for every L value integer number comprised in [1; ∞] interval, for every K value integer number comprised in [1; ∞] interval, for every M value integer number included in [1; ∞] interval. Obviously actual invention applicability limits belong to the trade off between implementation costs and advantages.
Furthermore, the trade off critical point belongs to application typology and environment.
Furthermore, e.g. in specific hurricane climatic control and prevention emitters subsystems(e.g.: Stepped Chirp and Continuous Linear Phase Shift of
