Abstract
The present invention provides a magnetoelectric multiferroic, time-variable magnetic field transmitter based upon a resonant structure capable of enhancing the transmitted field at the structural resonant frequency. This transmitter utilizes a single crystal piezoelectric as the source of mechanical excitations with a laminated transduction element to reduce eddy currents in the magnetostrictive material thereby reducing losses at higher frequencies. The structural resonance frequency can be tuned by adjusting the size of the masses, position and strength of bias magnets, pre-stress conditions and physical parameters of the transduction column elements.
