Abstract
An antenna for generating an electromagnetic field. The antenna has a substrate and a contiguous core disposed on the substrate. A continuous winding encircles the core and the substrate extending in a longitudinal direction; a first gap is defined between adjacent turns of the winding. The turns segregated into a plurality of winding segments, each winding segment comprising a plurality of turns. A second gap is defined between adjacent winding segments, wherein the second gap is larger than the first gap. Numerical values for the various parameters of the antenna (e.g., number of turns, number of winding segments, length of the first gap, length of the second gap) are selected to create and propagate a signal having desired parameters.
