Abstract
A system comprises first and second rotating magnetic field transmitter assemblies positioned in a planar arrangement. The first and second rotating magnetic field transmitter assemblies are each configured to generate a rotating magnetic field. In certain embodiments, the system further comprises a housing assembly and the first and second rotating magnetic field transmitter assemblies are positioned within the housing.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a housing assembly:
- and
- first and second rotating magnetic field transmitter assemblies positioned within the housing assembly such that the first and second magnetic field transmitter assemblies are in a planar arrangement, wherein the first and second rotating magnetic field transmitter assemblies are each configured to generate a rotating magnetic field.
A system comprising:
- a housing assembly;
- means for generating a first rotating magnetic field, wherein the means for generating the first rotating magnetic field is positioned within the housing assembly;
- and
- means for generating second rotating magnetic field, wherein the means for generating the second rotating magnetic field is positioned within the housing assembly,
- wherein the means for generating a first rotating magnetic field and the means for generating a second rotating magnetic field are arranged with respect to each other to form a shared magnetic field volume.
