July 29, 1997
United States Patent Granted for "Contrawound Antenna" (CTHA)
Effective August 5, 1997
For immediate release, July 29, 1997, Morgantown, WV: IAS
Communications, Inc. (Symbol IASCA) is pleased to announce that
the second US patent has been granted on the CTH Antenna. This
patent broadens the protection we already have for the CTH Antenna
by encompassing several different geometries not specifically covered
by the first patent of August 15, 1995
The CTHA is an antenna that is shaped like a donut and is 1/60 the
size of a standard monopole antenna. It can be placed on the ground,
the deck of a boat, or embedded into a cellular phone, pager, or meter
reading devices. It is a low-profile, lightweight antenna, the size of a
postage stamp and can be mass produced inexpensively for numerous
wireless applications giving it an impressive advantage over the
conventional monopole and dipole antennas.
The Company is currently building and testing the CTH antenna for
several applications including wireless automobile applications and
meter reading applications. The computer program developed by West
Virginia University originally used to model the CTH Antenna has been
successfully modified, which enables the computer model design to be
shortened from weeks/months to days.
Current interests from several potential customers of the CTH Antenna
indicate that IAS Communications should be prepared to produce large
quantities of antennas for multiple applications over the next two years.
IAS Communications, Inc. will soon be changing the face of the
wireless communications industry with its postage stamp sized antenna
technology. The Contrawound Toroidal Antenna represents a quantum
leap forward in antenna design, improving on conventional antenna
designs by over 300 percent . . . and giving the industry a whole new
shape.
