- the concentrator described above may, upon being 2 Q incident with a magnetic field, have substantially no magnetic field pass between said first and second portions, the field being diverted through said first portion and incident said receiver means.
- the present invention also provides a magnetic 25 field concentrator adapted to enhance field reception by a receiver means, the concentrator being juxtaposed and adapted to influence said receiver means, wherein the concentrator comprises a metal portion adapted to substantially surround said receiver means in one plane, the 30 metal portion being further adapted to encircle the receiver means in the plane in a discontinuous manner, wherein, upon radiation by said field, the concentrator generates flux which is received by the receiver means in addition to said field. ,,.
- the present invention may provide a shield for alleviating radiation from magnetic fields within a predetermined area, the shield comprising a loop having first and second portions and third and fourth interconnecting portions, the first portion having first and second regions, the first portion being continuous between said first and second regions, the first region being substantially opposingly juxtaposed and spaced from said second region, the first portion substantially encircling said predetermined area, the second portion having third and fourth regions, being aligned with the first and second regions respectively, the second portion being continuous between said third and fourth regions, the third reg a ion being y substantially opposingly juxtaposed and spaced from said' fourth region, the second portion being adapted to substantially encircle said first portion, the first interconnection portion being adapted to couple said first and fourth regions and the second interconnecting portion being adapted to couple said second and third regions, wherein said magnetic fields are substantially excluded from the area bounded by the first portion.
- the portions of the shield and concentrators described above may in one form be substantially "C" shaped in configuration.
- the present invention also provides a shield for substantially eliminating magnetic field radiation from within a predetermined area comprising a first conductive portion substantially encompassing said area and a second conductive portion substantially encompassing and being spaced from said first portion, end regions of said first and second portions being coupled in an overlapping arrangement so as to form one continuous strip, whereby, upon radiation by a magnetic field, the field is substantially diverted from said area.
- the present invention may also provide a magnetic field concentrator which may be used to confine an alternating magnetic flux within an aperture and/or 5 concentrate a magnetic flux in a coil and/or shield components from the flux.
- the concentrator may be useful where a large coil for collecting flux is more expensive than a concentrator and smaller coil or where the coil size presents problems.
- the concentrator may preferably be made from a material with good electrical conductivity which thereby improves the concentrator's performance. The degree of conductivity may determine the amount of flux radiated from the concentrator. Non-magnetic or magnetic conductors may also be contemplated.
- FIGS 1 and 2 show prior art arrangements.
- FIGS. 3 to 14 show various exemplary (only) forms of concentrator according to the present invention.
- coil should be construed in a non-limiting way.
- the term “coil” may 5 include, for example, any signal receiving apparatus or magnetic field receptor as the present invention has many applications.
- shape of the metal herein described should not be limited to a particular configuration. The shape of metal is dependent on its 0 application or use.
- the terms "signal” or “signals” include within their scope any form of electromagnetic radiation.
- the signal may, for example, be a powering signal or a data or informational signal.
- Figure 3 shows a metal sheet placed in the same plane as the coil.
- the metal serves to increase the amount of flux, impinging the coil.
- the increase of flux on the coil due to the metal is inversely proportional to the spacing between the metal and the coil. 5
- Figure 4 shows a coil surrounded in the coil's plane by metal. As can be seen, the additional fluxes produced by circulating currents, opposes and reduces the applied currents. Accordingly, no flux enhancement is produced for the coil the metal surrounds.
- Figure 5 shows metal similar in shape to that previously mentioned, however, a slot or gap is provided in the metal so that the metal surrounds the coil in a discontinuous manner.
- the gap in the metal surrounding the coil causes the eddy currents (produced in response to impinging flux) to produce a field that serves to increase the flux impinging the coil.
- Figure 6 shows a concentrator similar to that -. hereinbefore described.
- the concentrator may be preferably constructed in two form ⁇ :-
- a slot or slots are cut from the hole out to the perimeter to alleviate circulating currents, which causes a drastic reduction in flux, from encircling the hole.
- the slot(s) may overlap, as long as there is substantially no continuous conduction path around the central hole ( Figures 5, 6 and 7).
- Co-pending Applications PI 7198 ANTENNA STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE and PJ 1693 INDUCTIVE ELEMENT FOR USE AS AN ANTENNA IN TRANSPONDERS filed in the name of Magellan Corporation (Australia) Pty. Limited disclose a method of simultaneously fabricating electrical coils and capacitors. Conveniently, the plates of capacitors so fabricated may take a substantially "C" shaped configuration and be disposed to surround the associated coils as hereinbefore described. This technique permits the area consumed by said capacitor plates to contribute towards the flux gathering ability of said coils.
- a wire loop concentrator using high conductivity wire may perform the same concentrating function provided the wire forms a continuous conducting path.
- the operation of both exemplary forms as shown in the drawings can be described thus :- c
- Circulating currents induced on the surface of a metal plate prevent an alternating magnetic flux from penetrating below the skin depth. For lOOKHz on copper, this is about 0.18mm. Consequently, an alternating flux cannot penetrate thick metal , Q plates and flows around the conducting obstacle.
- the wire loop concentrator may also be used to substantially exclude flux from an area. By crossing the wire connections between the inner and outer loops, without allowing them to touch, the flux passing through the inner 3C . loop is drastically reduced.
- Figure 10 shows an example of this configuration.
- Figure 11 shows an example of a field concentrator acting as an electrostatic Faraday shield.
- the coil is - 8 - shown partially surrounded by a conventional Faraday shield.
- the Faraday shield is extended to form a field concentrator, or may be coupled to an existing concentrator.
- Electrostatic shielding reduces the capacitive sensitivity of the coil to objects in the vicinity of the coil.
- the Faraday shield may extend only part way around the coil in order to adjust capacitive sensitivity.
- field concentration and electrostatic shielding can be achieved using two field concentration plates. One placed in front of the coil, the other behind the coil as shown in Figure 12.
- Figure 13 shows a cross-section of this arrangement. Connection between the front and back plates can be made anywhere along the plates, however, preferably this is done on the inside and/or the outside of the coil. See Figures 14A, B and C.
