Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is electromagnetic transducer that does not require complex analog to digital, digital to analog converters, microprocessors or large memory circuitry. The transducer has a helical transmitter coil with tap nodes spaced between its end extremities. An oscillator drives the coil for simultaneously producing oppositely directed current on opposite sides of selected taps, creating a moving fringing field that is compatible with modern graphic display tablet technology. A control circuit of the transducer has a closed-loop integrator for detecting the centroid of a received stylus signal. Analog and digital versions of the integrator are disclosed.
