Abstract: The invention relates to the transmission of a signal from a communications device to another device (e.g. a hearing aid) by inductive communication and particularly to a scheme for improving the signal quality at the location of the other device. The object of the present invention is to provide an alternative scheme for improving the quality of inductive communication between two (e.g. portable) devices. The basic idea is to arrange at least two induction coils at an angle to each other in a transmitting device and to apply electrical signals comprising carrier signals comprising a carrier frequency fc to the at least two induction coils, the carrier signals of the two electrical signals being phase shifted relative to each other. An advantage thereof is that a reduced drop out is achieved. The invention may e.g. be used for portable communications devices requiring communication with another device over a relatively short distance, e.g.
