Abstract: There is elucidated a device (10) comprising first and second magnetic cores (30, 40; 30a, 30b, 30c, 40a, 40b, 40c) forming a magnetic circuit. The circuit includes a first set of electrical windings (300, 310) for magnetically coupling a first electrical signal through the device (10) via a first magnetic path (350) in the circuit. The circuit includes a second set of electrical windings (400, 410) for magnetically coupling a second electrical signal through the device (10) via a second magnetic path (450) in the circuit. The paths (350, 450) are partially spatially intersecting. The sets of windings (300, 310, 400, 410) are configured so that: (a) the first set of windings (300, 310) is sensitive to magnetic flux in the first magnetic path (350), and insensitive to magnetic flux in the second magnetic path (450); and (b) the second set of windings (400, 410) is sensitive to magnetic flux in the second magnetic path (450), and insensitive to magnetic flux in the first magnetic path (350).

Abstract: An inductive transmission system for inductive transmission of power and full duplex data signals between first and second devices. The transmission system includes a bi-directional inductive channel between the two devices; a transmitter for transmitting a power signal at a first frequency from the first device to the second device over the inductive channel; a first modulating device for modulating a first data signal at a first modulation frequency; and a second modulating device for modulating a second data signal at a second modulation frequency. Further transmitters transmit the modulated first data signals from the first device to the second device over the inductive channel, and transmits the modulated second data signals from the second device to the first device over the inductive channel. The first modulation frequency and the second modulation frequency are at least a factor two apart.
