TransferJet utilizes a newly developed TransferJet Coupler based on the principle of electric induction field as opposed to radiation field for conventional antennas.
In contrast, conventional antennas that are very small compared to the wavelength reflect most of the signal back to the source.
This is noticed with comparison to a conventional monopole antenna.
Similar radio-frequency technology using conventional antennas is already used for such things as electronic time cards and security passes for employees and for inventory control in warehouses.
The unfortunately-named Channel Master 3000A SMARTenna is a conventional antenna, not a smart antenna.
Even if sufficiently large conventional antennas could be built on the surface of the Earth, these would generate horizontally polarized, not vertically polarized waves.
It sported a conventional antenna at the rear for tapping the power transmitter in orbit beneath the barrier veil, but there was a secondary system which burned a stinking fuel.
SCANFAR was intended to be better at tracking multiple airborne targets than conventional rotating antenna radars.
Sarantel's topology and feed system is designed to provide electromagnetic isolation, rather than to resonate with the box as is the case with most conventional antennas.
Broadcasters countered that the Aereo service goes beyond the conventional antenna because it both records programs for later viewing and charges subscribers a monthly fee, thus acting as a middleman.
