  • Patent number: 8093912
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling a material, the device including at least one transmitter for transmitting an electromagnetic signal at a carrier frequency Fp to illuminate the material and one receiver for receiving the electromagnetic signal, wherein the device further includes a first modulator for modulating the electromagnetic signal at a frequency Fm1, the first modulator being arranged, on the signal path, between the transmitter and the material in order to spatially sample the emitted electromagnetic signal; second modulator for modulating the electromagnetic signal at a frequency Fm2, the second modulator being arranged, on the signal path, between the material and the electromagnetic signal receiver in order to spatially sample the electromagnetic signal passed through the material.

  • Patent number: 6756944
    Abstract: Flat-top antenna emitting and/or receiving an electromagnetic field, particularly for a motor vehicle, formed of multi-strand conductors connected one by one to form turns. The flat-top antenna is positioned on a mechanical support so that it is mainly at right angles to the surface defined by the turns. Hands-free access and starting system may comprise such an antenna.

  • Publication number: 20020113747
    Abstract: The communication facility for system for low frequency communication by electromagnetic coupling, comprises at least one electromagnetic field transmitting and/or receiving antenna in the form of a coil (2) disposed on a substrate board (1) serving as support, this board having a certain thickness. The coil has turns which are wound in the thickness of the substrate board so that the sensitivity of the antenna can be improved without increasing the thickness of the communication facility.

  • Patent number: 6407677
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for low-frequency communication by magnetic coupling of the type comprising a magnetic field emitter and a receiver placed in an identification member, one of either the emitter or the receiver being furnished with a loop antenna, in which the other of either the emitter or the receiver is constituted by the association of three coils (1, 2, 3) wound around three perpendicular axes (Ox, Oy, Oz) defining a trihedral so as to obtain an omnidirectional magnetic field by supplying said coils with currents of like frequency.
