"Environmentally adaptable antenna" was invented by Daniel Faircloth (Huntsville, Ala.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A thermally adaptive antenna system having an antenna structure, an EM) power signal, a DC power signal, an impedance tuner, a temperature sensor in the antenna, a DC-DC conversion component, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller provides a tuning command to the impedance tuner, causing the impedance tuner to compensate for an impedance change in the antenna due to a temperature change in the antenna. An environmentally adaptive antenna system has an antenna structure, an EM power signal, a ...
