Abstract
An E.A.S. capable of surely detecting magnetic fluxes emitted from transmission antennas irrespective of the position of a reception coil within a tag attached to goods. In order to emit magnetic fluxes into an aisle through which customers pass, the system is equipped with at least two transmission antennas 1, 3. These transmission antennas 1, 3 are driven in a time-sharing way so as not to concurrently emit the magnetic fluxes.
