Global Wireless System
Long Island facility
nThe Wardenclyffe World Wireless Facility was envisioned to be quite different from radio broadcasting stations as they presently exist. nConventional transmitters are designed to maximize the amount of power radiated from the antenna structure. nSuch equipment must process tremendous amounts of power in order to counteract the loss in field strength (P = 1/R2) encountered as the signal radiates. nThe transmitter at Wardenclyffe was being configured to minimize the radiated power.
