Abstract (en)

[origin: CA2350217A1] A multiple loop antenna (70) is provided which may be connected to either a transmit circuit, a receive circuit, or a transmit/receive circuit (80). Whe n powered by a transmit circuit (60), the antenna (70) generates radio frequen cy magnetic fields in an area or zone proximate to the antenna, but which are substantially canceled at a distance approximately one wavelength and more from the antenna (70), thereby defining a surveillance zone proximate to the antenna (70). The loop antenna (70) includes a first, upper loop (36) and a second, lower loop (38). The upper (36) and lower (38) loops lie in separate , spaced, parallel planes and are preferably disposed at a fixed angle with respect to the surveillance zone.
