Abstract
This paper proposes the optimum placement of an LF antenna in a small mobile device to minimize coverage range degradation of a PASE system. The small mobile device, vehicle, and 3-axis LF antenna are modeled as piecewise triangular meshes and simulated using a full-wave electromagnetic simulator to verify the feasibility of mounting the LF antenna in a small device. We then find the optimum placement of the 3-axis LF antenna inside the mobile device to maximize the coverage range of the system. Finally, the received power of the 3-axis LF antenna is analyzed in conjunction with the PASE system for vehicle application to accurately estimate the system performance. The results demonstrate that the position optimization of the LF antenna in the small mobile device is capable of maximizing the coverage range of the PASE system.
