An apparatus for measuring electrical characteristics of a resonant circuit without physically contacting the resonant circuit. The EAS system includes a numerically controlled oscillator for generating an alternating electric signal, the frequency of the alternating electric signal varying in accordance with a numerical frequency control signal; a transmitting antenna connected to the numerically controlled oscillator for establishing an electromagnetic field within a measurement zone; a receiving antenna for sensing disturbances to the electromagnetic field within the measurement zone; a receiver for receiving signals from the receiving antenna representative of disturbances to the electromagnetic field and for determining the Q and center frequency of the resonant circuit; and a clock having a substantially fixed frequency connected to the numerically controlled oscillator. The frequency of the alternating electric signal is restricted to being an integer multiple of an integer sub-multiple of the clock frequency. |
