Definitions
- This invention relates generally to electronic tuning circuits, and more particularly to a tuning system using magnetic field coupled reactive elements.
- Magnetic fields are used in many electronic systems for a variety of purposes such as Electronic Article Surveillance (EAS), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), metal detectors, magnetic imaging systems, remote sensing, communications, etc.
- EAS Electronic Article Surveillance
- RFID Radio Frequency Identification
- a magnetic coil may be used as either a transmitter or as a receiver.
- the coil is usually employed to project a magnetic field into a desired sensing region.
- the coil may be placed in a region to receive a signal or to detect the presence of a tag, metal object, etc.
- a highly efficient method for generating magnetic fields involves the use of a series resonant LCR circuit that presents a low impedance to the transmitter at the transmit frequency.
- One method for maximizing the current delivered from the transmitter is to use a LCR circuit with a high quality factor (Q). This may be accomplished by increasing the inductance of the antenna coil and by reducing the total series resistance of the circuit.
- a different type of tuned resonant circuit is typically used that employs a parallel placement of an inductor, a capacitor and resistance to form a parallel resonant LCR circuit.
- This type of circuit is used in applications that need high impedance of the coil at resonance, such as, for example, at the input of a receiver for an EAS system, an RFID tag or antenna, or in magnetic field sensing inputs.
- One method to achieve this high sensitivity is to increase the Q of the antenna to make the antenna more sensitive to the frequencies of interest for the application.
- the series LCR circuit it is desirable to have a high Q LCR circuit to take advantage of the higher performance.
- the resonant frequency (or tuning) of the LCR circuit varies from the ideal either due to design variation, variations in installation environment (e.g., door frames, floor, etc.) or due to dynamic changes in the operating environment.
- design tolerance variations in tuning may be caused by variations in the construction of the resonant capacitor(s) and variations in the construction of the antenna coil, which affect the inductance and resistance of the LCR circuit, thereby affecting tuning and performance.
- some types of antenna coils use permeable magnetic materials to concentrate or shape the magnetic field from a transmit antenna or to increase the sensitivity of receiver antenna to external magnetic fields. Many of these materials exhibit wide tolerances in magnetic permeability and material losses.
- these material properties vary with changes in the operating magnetic field flux density, operating temperature, mechanical stresses, etc. Some materials may also change over time during the life of the system. All these changes in material characteristics affect the inductance and the losses of the LCR circuit and affect tuning and performance.
- an antenna coil may be mounted near magnetically permeable or conductive materials that may alter the magnetic field around the antenna.
- the altering of the magnetic field can change both the inductance of the coil and the effective resistance of the LCR circuit, thereby affecting the tuning and performance of the LCR circuit.
- the magnetic field of the antenna may be dynamically altered by magnetically permeable or conductive materials moving near the antenna. As a result, this may cause the inductance or effective resistance of the antenna to dynamically change, thereby affecting the tuning and performance of the LCR circuit.
- several magnetically coupled antennas may be used by a system to dynamically change the orientation of magnetic field vectors generated by a transmit antenna or sensed by a receiver antenna within a sensing region.
- This dynamic variation is accomplished by changing the relative phase relationships of currents in the various antenna coils and may alter the inductance of the individual antennas due to the mutual inductance (or coupling coefficient) between the coils, As a result, the effective resonant frequency of a coil to dynamically changes with changes in the relative phases of currents in the magnetically coupled coils,
- the use of high Q antennas to achieve high performance of an antenna LCR circuit may be needed or desired.
- high Q antennas are prone to tuning problems. Therefore, adjusting of either the tuning or Q of an LCR circuit in response to changes in, for example, the operating environment may be needed or desired.
- certain interfering signals may be generated either by a system connected to the LCR circuit, or by external systems, and that may necessitate changes to the antenna tuning or reduction in the Q of the LCR circuit.
- the current induced in the single loop windings flows through conductors and switches with finite conductivity as well as the junction voltage of the switch. In many applications, the induced current may dramatically decrease the Q of the LCR circuit. Additionally, because the current flowing in the shorted turn flows in the opposite direction as the main inductor winding, the effective magnetic field is reduced and depending on the application, may degrade the performance of the antenna.
- a resonant circuit tuning system may include an LCR circuit and a reactive element magnetically coupled to the LCR circuit.
- an electronic article surveillance (EAS) system may include at least one of a transmitter and a receiver and at least one antenna connected to the transmitter or receiver.
- the EAS system may further include a tuning circuit configured to tune the at least one antenna.
- the tuning circuit may include at least one reactive element magnetically coupled to the antenna.
- a method for tuning an LCR circuit may include magnetically coupling a reactive element to an inductor of the LCR circuit and controlling a resonant frequency of the LCR circuit using the reactive element.
