Abstract
Various embodiments relate to an antenna assembly for providing wireless coupling to a remote antenna. The antenna assembly comprises a first antenna and a second antenna. The second antenna is fixedly attached to a mount spaced by a distance along a first direction from the first antenna. The first antenna is configured to provide the wireless coupling along the first direction via transceiving of a time-varying field. The second antenna is configured to provide the wireless coupling by setting-up a decay of the time-varying field along the first direction. The interface is connected to an electric circuitry configured for controlling the transceiving. The second antenna is configured to operate as a passive electrical element.
