Abstract: A method for locating a mobile element in a predetermined zone, including supplying power to an on-board module in the mobile element, where the on-board module includes an electronic circuit and an on-board coil, generating a locating signal by the electronic circuit and transmission of the locating signal via the on-board coil, picking up the locating signal by receiver coils on a support in proximity to the predetermined zone, each of the receiver coils configured to pick up the locating signal when the mobile element is in proximity, and determining a location of the mobile element in the predetermined zone by detecting a signal level on the support in the form of an array by a processing unit connected to the support. The electronic circuit and the on-board coil constitute an RLC circuit that oscillates, generating the locating signal by sudden interruption of the current through the on-board coil.

Abstract: A method is provided for locating at least one mobile element in a predetermined zone, including: supplying power to an on-board module in the element, this module having an electronic circuit and at least one on-board coil; generating a locating signal by the electronic circuit and transmission of this locating signal via the coil; picking up the locating signal by receiver coils on a support near the predetermined zone; each receiver coil picking up the signal when the mobile element is near; determining the location of the mobile element in the zone by detecting a signal level addressed in rows and columns in the form of an array by a processing unit; and the electronic circuit and the on-board coil include an RLC circuit that oscillates, generating the locating signal by sudden interruption of the current through the on-board coil.
