Publication number: 20220238999Abstract: Implementations disclosed describe devices and systems for close-range communications in high-density wireless network environments. A close-range antenna configured according to disclosed implementations generates a sufficiently strong near-field signal to ensure a reliable close-range communication. Additionally, the signal decreases significantly with the distance from the antenna and, therefore, contributes little in the way of interference and noise for other devices of the wireless environment. Various antenna systems that achieve this objective are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2021Publication date: July 28, 2022Applicant: Cypress Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Zhuohui Zhang, Daniel Oloumi, Matteo Bassi, Kiran Uln
