  • Publication number: 20180146083
    Abstract: A first aspect of the invention relates to an apparatus for mobile application, including a frequency spectrum generator for generating a frequency spectrum of radio waves at a current position of the apparatus and a classifier for classifying the frequency spectrum such that the frequency spectrum is assigned to one of at least two classes. A second aspect of the invention relates to a frequency spectrum generator with a tunable local oscillator, with a downmixer for downmixing a received antenna signal with the local oscillator signal for obtaining a downmixed signal, with a filter for filtering out a mirror-frequency portion in the downmixed signal, with a signal level detector for detecting a signal level of the downmixed signal at an intermediate frequency and with a control for sequentially controlling the local oscillator and the signal level detector to sample a frequency spectrum of the antenna signal.

  • Patent number: 9795829
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to a concept for determining a transit of a movable object through a detection area within a detection plane. At least one exciter antenna provides an exciting electromagnetic field. The exciting electromagnetic field or at least one spatial component thereof has a field strength above a field strength threshold in the detection area. The exciting electromagnetic field is capable of exciting the movable object to emit an electromagnetic response signal comprising information on a position of the movable object. At least one sensor antenna comprising a magnetic core receives the electromagnetic response signal. The at least one magnetic core is positioned in a region of the exciting electromagnetic field where the field strength of the exciting electromagnetic field or the at least one spatial component thereof is below the field strength threshold.

  • Publication number: 20170136906
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a measuring device with a receiver coil array and evaluator. The receiver coil array is configured to detect three magnetic field components of a magnetic field of a conductor loop array generated by an electric alternating current signal and to provide a magnetic field component signal for each of the detected three magnetic field components. The evaluator is configured to evaluate the magnetic field component signals in order to determine the phase relation to the electric alternating current signal allocated for the magnetic field component signals, wherein the phase relations each include coarse position information of the conductor loop array relative to the conductor loop array and wherein the evaluator is configured to determine a resulting intersection of the coarse position information, wherein the resulting intersection includes or results in fine position information of the receiver coil array relative to the conductor loop array.

  • Publication number: 20160139288
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a device for monitoring access to a storage area of a plurality of storage areas for goods, including a measurement signal generation, detection, and evaluator. The measurement signal generator includes a signal source and a conductor loop arrangement, the detector for detecting the generated magnetic field is configured to provide a measurement signal on the basis of the detected magnetic field, and the evaluator for evaluating the measurement signal is configured to determine an instance of access to one of the storage areas on the basis of the measurement signal, to compare a determined instance of access with a target access instance, and to output a display signal on the basis of the comparison.
