Title: Metal-free magnetic conductor substrates for placement-immune antenna assemblies

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1221804

A magnetic conductor substrate produced for mounting to an antenna includes a sheet of dielectric lattice material having a length, a width and a thickness that is less than the length and less than the width. Within the sheet of dielectric lattice material is disposed an array of dielectric elements.
