Abstract: In a first embodiment, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is driven by a generator that provides a cyclic voltage having a sawtooth waveform. The VCO cyclicly provides a signal at a frequency that varies over a range that includes a frequency of a transmitted signal that causes a vehicular traffic signal light control system, of a type that has an inductive loop buried in a roadway, to provide a desired illumination of traffic signal lights of the system. The VCO is connected to a power amplifier that has its output connected to an antenna. In a second embodiment, a signal processor provides a train of pulses at a frequency of radiation from the inductive loop. The number of the pulses of the pulse train that are provided during a timing interval is stored by a counter. A digital to analog converter is connected to the output of the counter. After the timing interval, a signal is transmitted substantially at the frequency of radiation in response to the output of a VCO that is connected to the converter.
