Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrical resonator (), and an array () comprising a plurality of the electrical resonators (). The electrical resonator () comprises an inductor coil comprising at least one turn. The at least one turn comprises an outer turn defining an outer coil perimeter (). The electrical resonator comprises at least one capacitor connected to the inductor coil. The outer coil perimeter () comprises four major edges (). Each of the major edge () is substantially linear and arranged on a different edge of a quadrilateral. The outer coil perimeter () comprises four minor edges () connecting the major edges (). The array () comprises a first plurality of the electrical resonators () arranged in a first layer, and a second plurality of the electrical resonators () arranged in a second layer on top of the first layer. The minor edge () of each electrical resonator substantially abuts the minor edge () of an adjacent electrical resonator in the same layer, and the first and second layer together define a quadrilateral array of the electrical resonators (), with a centre of each inductor coil in the first layer coincident with the centre of a gap region between inductor coils in the second layer. A method of arranging a plurality of electrical resonators in an array is also disclosed.
