Abstract
Various embodiments that pertain to a loop antenna are described. The loop antenna can be a single loop antenna that switches between a first phase and a second phase. While operating at different phases, the loop antenna can function at the same frequency. The loop antenna can observe a response to the frequency at the first phase and the frequency at the second phase. This can provide a wider range of information over operation in a single phase.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- identifying a first response to an excitement produced by a single loop antenna operating at a frequency with a first phase;
- identifying a second response to an excitement produced by the single loop antenna operating at the frequency with a second phase;
- comparing the first response to the second response such that a comparison result is produced;
- and
- outputting the comparison result.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium, communicatively coupled to a processor, that stores a command set executable by the processor to facilitate operation of a component set, the component set comprising:
- a first response identification component to identify a first response to an excitement produced by a single loop antenna operating at a frequency with a first phase;
- a second response identification component to identify a second response to an excitement produced by the single loop antenna operating at the frequency with a second phase;
- a comparison component to compare the first response to the second response such that a comparison result is produced;
- and
- a result output component to output the comparison result.
A processor, operatively coupled to a computer-readable medium, to execute instructions stored by the computer-readable medium to perform method, the method comprising:
- identifying a first response to an excitement produced by a single loop antenna operating at a frequency with a first phase;
- identifying a second response to an excitement produced by the single loop antenna operating at the frequency with a second phase;
- comparing the first response to the second response such that a comparison result is produced;
- and
- causing output of the comparison result.
