Coil and Device for Wireless Signal Transmission, and Method for Producing Such a Coil

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This invention provides a coil design for wireless signal transmission devices where the impedance matching circuit is created wholly or partially by overlapping conductor tracks within the coil itself. This integration removes or reduces the need for discrete matching components like external capacitors, leading to a more flexible, robust, and reliable assembly. The patent also covers a device using such a coil and a method for manufacturing it, mainly targeting efficient signal transmission via electromagnetic waves.
