Abstract
A high frequency (HF) generator projects an electronic wave into a surveillance area to establish a first field. At least one control zone is set up within the surveillance area by two frequency modulated (FM) generators. The first FM generator establishes a second field in the control zone. The second FM generator establishes a third field only at a control zone margin, thereby defining the limits of the control zone. Presence within the control zone of a transponder cause reradiation of a signal comprised of the high frequency and FM signal, which provides an output signal. Additional control zones may be set up within the surveillance area by the addition of further FM generators.
