Subject: help about energy sucking antennas

hi!

I have a relative short question. First let me explain what is it about.
In the past few days I read about Tesla's power receiver, in other words
the energy sucking antennas.
These kind of antennas are electrically small, but they can behave like
they were much bigger (eg. the effective arperture size seems bigger).
This can be done by driving the small antenna with an ac source which
is equal to the incoming signal in its frequency, and fixed to a specified
phase.
(site: http://www.amasci.com/tesla/tesceive.html)

my question is:
with this procedure what large bandwith can be received?
(say there is an AM broadcasting station at 540 kHz with
 9 kHz bandwith)
what if I drive my electrically small antenna (wavelenght=555 meter)
with 540 kHz ac source? will it receives as well the full bandwith?


thank you very much for helping
