  • Planar distributed element antenna isolation board
    Patent number: 8305233
    Abstract: An antenna isolation circuit, meter reading device, and method of manufacturing an antenna isolation circuit may employ or be associated with a multilayer planar structure. A multilayer planar structure antenna isolation circuit uses distributed elements to provide high voltage isolation and RF coupling functions. The distributed elements may be implemented, for example, as multilayer distributed capacitors. In other embodiments, the distributed elements may be implemented as a distributed transformer.
