METHOD OF AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING UNIFORM ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD IN ARTICLE FINDING SYSTEM

摘要

An electromagnetic article detection system of the type wherein a target having frequency selective electrical characteristics produces predetermined electromagnetic effects in response to an alternating electromagnetic field. A large resonant electric circuit is placed across an interrogation zone from an interrogation antenna and is inductively coupled to the interrogation antenna to generate secondary electromagnetic waves which cooperate with the primary electromagnetic waves from the interrogation antenna to provide improved distribution of electromagnetic field strength in the interrogation zone.
