Abstract

Réseau d'antenne distribué à passerelle centralisée d'entrée de données pour déterminer la présence et l'emplacement de repères RF. Ce réseau centralise les éléments électroniques et distribue RF dans des zones d'une installation afin de réduire considérablement les dépenses de composants récurrents pour la surveillance des repères RF. Une passerelle/BRT unique à multiples antennes destinée à transmettre et recevoir des ports sert à couvrir une installation complète. Des installations importantes sont couvertes par un petit nombre de combinaisons BRT/passerelle. Ces combinaisons comprennent des antennes de transmission qui y sont couplées, de préférence par un câble coaxial, qui transmettent des signaux à une partie ou à tous les repères RF et une partie de ceux-ci ou tous module(nt) et réfléchisse(nt) le signal RF sur une antenne de réception particulière. L'antenne de réception renvoie alors le signal RF avec les données de repère à BRT/passerelle, de préférence par un câble coaxial. Repère de rétro-diffusion RF qui allume ou éteint une antenne à ouverture résonnante sans à-coup, avec pour effet d'augmenter considérablement le rapport marque-espace des données de rétro-diffusion. Ainsi, les repères sont détectés par BRT à des distances bien plus éloignées.
