  • Patent number: 7444118
    Abstract: In order that an electronic communications system (100) equipped with: [a.1] at least one base station (10), to which [a.2] at least one LC resonant circuit (13, 16) [a.2.1] with at least one antenna unit (16) in the form of a coil, and [a.2.2] at least one capacitive unit (13) series-connected to the antenna unit (16) is assigned, which base station (10) is arranged, in particular, on an object to be secured against unauthorized use and/or against unauthorized access, such as on a means of locomotion, on an access system or on an entry system, and [b.1] at least one transponder station (40), to which [b.

  • Patent number: 6320508
    Abstract: The respective resonance frequencies of resonant circuits in the base station and the transponder in identification systems are tuned to a transmission frequency for the wireless transmission of data and energy. In order to achieve an as high as possible transmission efficiency, the resonant circuits must be very accurately tuned to the transmission frequency. Because these systems are subject to temperature fluctuations and other environmental conditions, and manufacture-inherent component tolerances also occur, it is difficult to ensure reliable operation within a tolerance range in which reliable data and energy transmission is possible. Extending this tolerance range would enhance the reliability of these systems. The tolerance range can be extended by increasing the power with which the resonant circuit operates. However, in the case of 100% tuning a field strength is then reached which is substantially larger than necessary for the data and energy transmission.
