Abstract
An antenna includes a plurality of loops and a plurality of double pole double throw (DPDT) switches. The plurality of DPDT switches is coupled to the plurality of loops. The DPDT switches are configured to cause a change in direction of current in one or more of the plurality of loops, thereby altering a direction of a magnetic field in one or more of the plurality of loops, such that a device positioned at a plurality of positions in relation to the antenna is electromagnetically coupled to the antenna at the plurality of positions.
