Description
We present a concept for improving the efficiency of a Radio Frequency (RF) current loop transmitter. The proposed technology implements a direct-drive transmitter circuit that provides High Frequency (HF) band switching for the low impedance loop transmitter. This technology will enable generation of a high intensity magnetic field in the near-field range with minimal power loss and minimal radiated power. The transmitter and driver circuit will be incorporated as active source components in the design of an Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) sensor that will enable extended range target detection capabilities.
