Abstract: An antenna loop layout method for an electromagnetic sensor board is provided. The electromagnetic sensor board has a plurality of inductive antennas which are arranged abreast of each other. One end of the inductive antennas is coupled to each other, and the other end of the inductive antennas have a switch. The method comprises the following steps: first, a pre-determined interval value is provided. Then, the switches are closed in sequence by the pre-determined interval value to form a plurality of physical antenna loops. The pre-determined interval value can be changed dynamically.

Abstract: A multi-antenna loop layout which comprises an array of physical antenna loops, each antenna loop comprising first and second conductive ends. Each conductive end of each antenna loop in the array is coupled to an electrically common contact point that is electrically in common with one or more conductive ends of a subset of other antenna loops in the array. The cumulative total of electrically common contact points, each common contact point being shared by two or more conductive ends of two or more antenna loops in the array, equals a first value T, the first value T being equal to the sum of a second plural value M and a third plural value N. The number of physical antenna loops is equal to at least the product of M and N, and may be as great as T*(T?1)/2.
