Roadway antennae

摘要

Antennas designed for use in producing effective electromagnetic capture zones for transponders mounted on moving vehicles. The antenna systems disclosed are principally designed to be mounted at or near the surface of a roadway carrying the vehicle whose transponder is to be interrogated. A principal advantage of the antennas of the invention is minimal interference with normal operation of the road and greatly reduced cost of installation when used in providing vehicle identification, toll collection, or communication with the transponder carrying vehicle.
