Magnetic loop antenna with diamagnetic properties

An antenna comprising:

• a first elongated magnetic antenna member having a first magnetic pole orientation, said first elongated magnetic member comprising an elongated member made from magnetic material and at least one diamagnetic portion provided in the magnetic material and separating the magnetic material into at least two portions;
• a second elongated antenna member having a second magnetic pole orientation opposite to the first magnetic pole orientation and provided adjacent and parallel to the first elongated magnetic member, said second elongated magnetic member comprising an elongated member made from magnetic material and at least one diamagnetic portion provided in the magnetic material and separating the magnetic material into at least two portions;
• p1 a pair of third elongated magnetic members connecting the ends of said first and second elongated members to form a magnetic loop, said first, second and third elongated members being arranged and configured such that the lines of magnetic force in the third members connect with the lines of the magnetic force in the first and second members;
• and
• a coil wound on each of said first and second elongated magnetic members.
