Abstract
A personal identification system includes a number of antenna preamplifier nodes coupled to collection nodes which are in turn coupled to a central computer. A personal detector unit attached to a user is inserted into an enclosure of the antenna preamplifier node. The antenna preamplifier node is electrically isolated by RF attenuation material. An antenna of the antenna preamplifier node is a low gain antenna. The antenna preamplifier node reads a coded radio frequency signal of a personal detector unit inserted into an enclosure and rejects signals of other various personal detector units in the vicinity.
