Abstract

Disclosed is a communication device using magnetic coupling including a communication module linked to a first planar coil ( 100 ). The first coil ( 100 ) is designed to form a magnetic field in which the field lines are orthogonal to the plane of the first coil ( 100 ) in a first zone ( 10 ) of the plane. The device includes a unit for orienting the magnetic field such that the field lines are not orthogonal to the plane of the first coil ( 100 ) in a second zone ( 20 ) of the plane.

Claims (21)

1. A communication device using magnetic coupling comprising a communication module linked to a first planar coil ( 100 ), said first coil ( 100 ) being designed to form a magnetic field in which the field lines are orthogonal to the plane of said first coil ( 100 ) in a first zone ( 10 ) of said plane, the device having means for orienting the magnetic field such that the field lines are not orthogonal to the plane of said first coil ( 100 ) in a second zone ( 20 ) of said plane

said device being wherein said first coil ( 100 ) has turns, the gap ( 21 ) between said turns on the side of the second zone ( 20 ) is greater than the gap ( 2122 ) between said turns on the side of the first coil ( 100 ) opposite the second zone ( 20 ).

2. The device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the communication module is designed to provide a communication signal at a predetermined communication frequency, the device includes a passive resonant circuit ( 32 ) including a coil in the second zone ( 20 ), the axis of said coil being parallel to the plane of the first coil ( 100 ).

3. The device as claimed in claim 1 , including a second coil ( 200 ) on the side of said second zone ( 20 ) that is directly connected to said first planar coil ( 100 ).

4. The device as claimed in claim 3 , in which said second planar coil ( 200 ) has turns, the gap ( 21 ) between said turns on said second coil ( 200 ) on the side of the second zone ( 20 ) is greater than the gap ( 2122 ) between said turns of said first coil ( 100 ) on the side opposite said second zone ( 20 ).

5. The device as claimed in claim 3 , in which the gap ( 21 ) between said turns of said first coil ( 100 ) on the side of the second zone ( 20 ) and/or of the second coil ( 200 ) on the side of said second zone ( 20 ) is at least three times greater than the gap ( 2122 ) between said coils on the side opposite said second zone ( 20 ).

6. The device as claimed in claim 1 , including a supporting element ( 30 ) for the first coil ( 100 ), said supporting element ( 30 ) having a winding ( 31 ) surrounding said supporting element ( 30 ).

7. The device as claimed in claim 6 , in which the number of turns on the side of the second zone ( 20 ) is greater than the number of turns on the side opposite said second zone ( 20 ).

8. The device as claimed in claim 6 , in which said winding ( 31 ) of the supporting element ( 30 ) is oriented towards the second zone ( 20 ).

9. The device as claimed in claim 2 , including a second coil ( 200 ) on the side of said second zone ( 20 ) that is directly connected to said first planar coil ( 100 ).

10. The device as claimed in claim 4 , in which the gap ( 21 ) between said turns of said first coil ( 100 ) on the side of the second zone ( 20 ) and/or of the second coil ( 200 ) on the side of said second zone ( 20 ) is at least three times greater than the gap ( 2122 ) between said coils on the side opposite said second zone ( 20 ).

11. The device as claimed in claim 2 , including a supporting element ( 30 ) for the first coil ( 100 ), said supporting element ( 30 ) having a winding ( 31 ) surrounding said supporting element ( 30 ).

12. The device as claimed in claim 3 , including a supporting element ( 30 ) for the first coil ( 100 ), said supporting element ( 30 ) having a winding ( 31 ) surrounding said supporting element ( 30 ).

13. The device as claimed in claim 4 , including a supporting element ( 30 ) for the first coil ( 100 ), said supporting element ( 30 ) having a winding ( 31 ) surrounding said supporting element ( 30 ).

14. The device as claimed in claim 5 , including a supporting element ( 30 ) for the first coil ( 100 ), said supporting element ( 30 ) having a winding ( 31 ) surrounding said supporting element ( 30 ).

15. The device as claimed in claim 7 , in which said winding ( 31 ) of the supporting element ( 30 ) is oriented towards the second zone ( 20 ).

16. The device as claimed in claim 9 , in which the gap ( 21 ) between said turns of said first coil ( 100 ) on the side of the second zone ( 20 ) and/or of the second coil ( 200 ) on the side of said second zone ( 20 ) is at least three times greater than the gap ( 2122 ) between said coils on the side opposite said second zone ( 20 ).

17. The device as claimed in claim 9 , including a supporting element ( 30 ) for the first coil ( 100 ), said supporting element ( 30 ) having a winding ( 31 ) surrounding said supporting element ( 30 ).

18. The device as claimed in claim 10 , including a supporting element ( 30 ) for the first coil ( 100 ), said supporting element ( 30 ) having a winding ( 31 ) surrounding said supporting element ( 30 ).

19. The device as claimed in claim 16 , including a supporting element ( 30 ) for the first coil ( 100 ), said supporting element ( 30 ) having a winding ( 31 ) surrounding said supporting element ( 30 ).

20. The device as claimed in claim 14 , in which said winding ( 31 ) of the supporting element ( 30 ) is oriented towards the second zone ( 20 ).
