Widespread near-field with robust H-field using NDTC antennas in multipurpose applications

Non-uniformly Distributed-Turns Coil (NDTC) antennas are specifically arranged to widespread the overall reactive field in multipurpose near-field applications e.g., the reading/interrogating and wireless power transfer (charging mats), while permitting their inherent robust H-field using earlier reported NDTC antennas to form the array. The proposed array consists of five NDTC antennas cautiously arranged and will be shown to optimally widespread the effective area of the antenna by 4.3 times. Simulated results are provided and corroborate the widespreading of the reactive field with robust H-field at HF 13.56MHz. A further widening of the reactive field in principle can be obtained using more NDTC antenna elements.
