Abstract
In accordance with aspects of the present invention, a coil arrangement is presented. A coil arrangement according to some embodiments includes at least one coil positioned to provide a magnetic field in a first area and configured to reduce the magnetic field in a second area outside of the first area. In some embodiments, the at least one coil includes a bent solenoid oriented in the X-Y plane, the bent solenoid localizing magnetic field flux at ends of the bent solenoid. In some embodiments, the bent solenoid can include end caps to further direct the magnetic flux. In some embodiments, the at least one coil includes a flattened solenoid with end caps to direct the magnetic flux. In some embodiments, the coil arrangement is a configuration of multiple coils.
