Abstract:
A method for resonating a conductive structure as an antenna comprising: connecting a radio frequency (RF) resonator to a transceiver, wherein the RF resonator has a conductive layer; attaching the conductive layer of the resonator to the conductive structure at a given location; balancing the impedance of the transceiver with the impedance of the conductive structure at the given location; and receiving and radiating electromagnetic waves through the conductive structure at an operating frequency of the transceiver, wherein the conductive structure has a dimension of at least one-half wavelength of the operating frequency of the transceiver.
