143 SHORT-RANGE MAGNETIC COMMUNICATION SYSTEM EP96920268.0 1996-05-17 EP0872032A1 1998-10-21 PALMERO, Vincent; COBLER, Patrick, J.; BUTLER, Neal, R.
A system and method communicate signals between a portable unit and a communications system. The portable device communicates with a base unit using inductive coupling. The base unit is further connected to a wider communication system such as a telephone network. Multiple, orthogonally arranged transducers are used in the base unit to provide a more complete magnetic field and to prevent mutual inductance nulls which are otherwise present in a magnetic field. The use of short-range inductive coupling minimizes the power requirements and limits interference with other sources. The inductive coupling may also be used to recharge a battery in the portable device.
