Abstract

Bei einem Sendespulensystem (1,11) mit einer ersten mit einer Anregeeinheit (101) verbindbaren und einer zweiten als Teil eines resonant anregbaren Schwingkreises (110) verwendbaren Sendespule (3,102,5,15,104) sowie mit einem Spulenkern (7,19) sind beide Sendespulen (3,102,5,15,104) lose magnetisch miteinander gekoppelt, indem beide Sendespulen (3,102,5,15,104) nebeneinander auf den Spulenkern (7,19) gewickelt sind. Eine Anregung der ersten Sendespule (3,102) führt in der zweiten Sendspule (5,15,104) zu einer resonanten Überhöhung der anliegenden Spannung und damit zu einer verstärkten Sendeleistung. Ein solches Sendespulensystem (1,11) kann z.B. zur Fernbedienung eines Hörhilfsgeräts genutzt werden, da es z.B. eine 200Bit/s Datenübertragung über einige Meter bei einer Niedervoltspannungsquelle ermöglicht.
