Abstract

See full text

The system comprises an interrogation assembly and a passive responder. One is carried by a mobile and the other by a track. The interrogation assembly includes continuously operating low frequency and medium frequency transmitters. The transmitters have respective antennas directed towards a predetermined zone with respect to the antennas, which is traversed by the responder during movement of the mobile. It further has a unit which is responsive to the characteristics of the responder when the responder is in the zone. The responder has a low frequency reception circuit which controls a medium frequency circuit. Both circuits have radiating circuits which are tuned and the low frequency signal generated in the low frequency circuit is used to short-circuit the medium frequency tuned circuit of the responder, at the rate of low frequency rate.
