  • Vibrating magnet antenna
    Patent number: 10771116
    Abstract: A vibrating magnetic antenna for generating reversable magnetic dipoles is provided. Soft magnetic materials are used to project the magnetic field as the magnet moves linearly between soft magnetic stators arranged in a “Y” configuration. The soft magnetic stators include a nickel-iron alloy, having high magnetic permeability. Also provided is a magnetic coupling circuit for upshifting the frequency of the magnetic field.
    Type: Grant
