  • Publication number: 20240019472
    Abstract: A sensor probe. The probe includes a central loop and a plurality of peripheral loops disposed peripherally relative to the central loop. To maximize far-field suppression, current flows in a first direction through the central loop and in a second direction through each one of the plurality of peripheral loops, the first direction opposite to the second direction, and current through the central loop equals current through the plurality of peripheral loops.

  • Patent number: 11431090
    Abstract: A sensor probe with reduced coupling between the various antenna elements and suppression of radio frequency interference. In one embodiment the sensor probe comprises a first antenna and a second antenna. A first and a second decoupling loop is electrically connected to one of the first and second antennas with current flow in opposite directions in the first and second decoupling loops. A third decoupling loop is electrically connected to another one of the first and second antennas and physically disposed between the first and second decoupling loops. Coupling between the first and second antennas is responsive to a location of the third decoupling loop relative to the first and second decoupling loops.
