Matching of Small Transmitting Antenna using Non-Foster-inspired Two-transmitter System

One of the most challenging applications of non-Foster elements is matching of a small transmitting antenna. It requires construction of a high-power and stable NIC-antenna system. Here, an alternative idea that employs two coherent transmitters that imitate NIC behavior, is presented and verified analytically. A possible practical realization, based on two standard power amplifier modules, is proposed.
