An antenna device is described. The antenna device 100 comprises at least two antenna elements each of comprising a first radiating element 110 and a corresponding second radiating element 120. The second radiating element 120 extends in a height direction along a common center axis A from a foot of the antenna device 100 to its corresponding first radiating element 110. The first radiating element 110 extends in a length direction outwards from the common center axis A. The length of the first radiating element 110 defines the maximum supported wavelength. Furthermore, each first radiating element 110 has a greater length than its width and each first radiating element 110 is electrically coupled to its corresponding second radiating element 120 along the length direction, so that the second radiating element 120 can contribute to the smaller wavelengths.

A resonant antenna for long-range wireless power transfer and communications. The antenna may be powered by a source at a frequency that is resonant for the antenna or harmonic(s) of the resonant frequency. The loop or antenna may be a wire laid out in a physically large network or constitute wiring of a building or other place. The antenna may be placed in a high index material, which results in the antenna to be a physically smaller size for the same electrical size. The antenna may be driven with an electrical power signal. Power may be picked up by another or secondary antenna from the source antenna at the resonant frequency or harmonic(s). Communications may also occur between the antennas. Because of a near-field effect, emanation of electromagnetic fields is primarily limited extensively to just between the antennas. A little stray electromagnetic field exists that others cannot easily intercept.
