Abstract
An apparatus includes an antenna, a transmitter configured to generate an outgoing electrical signal, and a receiver configured to receive an incoming electrical signal. The apparatus also includes a transformer configured to couple the antenna and the transmitter such that the outgoing electrical signal causes the antenna to radiate outgoing electromagnetic energy, couple the antenna and the receiver such that the incoming electrical signal is based on incoming electromagnetic energy received by the antenna, and electrically isolate the transmitter and the receiver. The antenna may include inner and outer compensating coils, the compensating coils may be configured to additively radiate the outgoing electromagnetic energy, and the incoming electrical signal may be based on a difference between the incoming electromagnetic energy as received by the compensating coils.
