Radio frequency resonant circuit, utilizing confronting parallel conductive plates having current flow in opposite directions

Claim 1

RADIO FREQUENCY CIRCUIT INCLUDING A TUNED RADIO FREQUENCY CIRCUIT COMPONENT CONSISTING OF A PLURALITY OF GENERALLY PARALLEL ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE PLATES SPACED FROM ONE ANOTHER IN A DIRECTION PERPENDICULAR TO THE PLANE OF THE PLATES, SAID PLATES FORMING TWO SERIES OF PLATES ARRANGED ALTERNATELY WITH ONE ANOTHER, AND CONNECTED AT A COMMON POINT TO PROVIDE A COMMON CONNECTION, WITH THE PLATES OF EACH OF SAID SERIES HAVING POINTS REMOTE FROM SAID COMMON POINT TO PROVIDE TWO INDEPENDENT SERIES OF REMOTE CONNECTION POINTS, AND WITH THE PLATES OF EACH SERIES HAVING SLOT MEANS OF SIMILAR CONFIGURATION WITHIN ITS SERIES AND OF DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION WITH THE PLATES OF THE OTHER SERIES, SAID SLOT MEANS DEFINING A RADIO FREQUENCY CURRENT PATH IN ONE SERIES OF PLATES OF OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM THOSE IN THE OTHER SERIES OF PLATES, SAID PATH IN SAID ONE SERIES OF PLATES BEING TRANSVERSELY SPACED IN A DIRECTION PARALLEL TO THE PLANE OF THE PLATES FROM SAID PATH IN SAID OTHER SERIES OF PLATES, AND RADIO FREQUENCY GENERATOR MEANS CONNECTED BETWEEN SAID COMMON POINT AND ONE ONLY OF SAID SERIES OF REMOTE CONNECTION POINTS.
