Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for detecting an electrically conductive element in a document according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a method of the type mentioned above is e.g. B. from DE 4339417 AI known.
- the high-frequency signal generated by an oscillator is applied to a transmitter electrode.
- the transmitted signal is transmitted to the receiving electrode via the electrically conductive security thread and evaluated in an evaluation circuit.
- the security thread is recognized as genuine by the evaluation circuit when the amplitude and phase position of the transmitted signal overlap with the input signal at the transmitter.
- a problem with the detection of security threads in a document is that, for example, a damp document can cause a signal due to the electrolytic line, even though the document has no security thread.
- a reliable differentiation of the signal transmitted from the transmitting to the receiving electrode due to the metallic line of the security thread from a signal caused by the electrolytic line in the document is made more difficult by the high capacitive coupling resistances present between the transmitting and receiving electrodes.
- These can be, for example, at an operating frequency in the 100 kHz range in the order of magnitude of mega-ohms and are therefore much larger than the resistance of the metallic security thread, which, for. B. may be in the kilo-ohm range.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of proposing a simple and reliable method for detecting an electrically conductive element in a document.
- the basic idea of the invention is that to detect an electrically conductive element in a document, a signal with a modulated carrier frequency is coupled to at least one transmitting electrode, which is transmitted to at least one receiving electrode by means of the electrically conductive element and the received modulation signal for recognizing the electrically conductive element is evaluated.
- the electrically conductive element acts here as a capacitive coupling element between the transmitting and receiving electrodes.
- the capacitively transmitted modulated carrier frequency signal is preferably mixed on the receiver side to the modulation frequency.
- the signal with the modulation frequency can then be evaluated for the detection of the electrically conductive element according to the amplitude.
- the signal can be filtered and amplified before the evaluation. Due to the availability of the components and the costs, a value of 455 kHz, which is customary in the broadcasting sector, for example, is preferably selected as the modulation frequency.
- Amplitude modulation can be used to modulate the carrier frequency signal, the carrier frequency being in the MHz range and the modulation frequency being in the kHz range.
- the capacitive coupling resistances can ischen' ⁇ vischen Transmitting and receiving electrode clearly, e.g. B. can be reduced by a factor of IO 3 , which enables more accurate detection of the electrically conductive elements. Because of the low capacitive coupling resistances, which are, for example, in the kilo-ohm range, the method according to the invention is sensitive to moisture in the documents.
- the modulated carrier frequency is mixed with the same carrier frequency, only one UHF oscillator is required for the transmitting and receiving electrodes. It can e.g. B. a simple LC oscillator can be used. As a result, the method can be carried out with little technical effort.
- a plurality of transmitting and receiving electrodes for detecting the electrically conductive element can also be provided in the document.
- the transmitting and the receiving electrodes of a pair of electrodes are each arranged in a linear manner with respect to one another.
- Each pair of electrodes corresponds to one measuring track.
- the pairs of electrodes are arranged in such a way that the measuring tracks do not interfere with one another.
- the use of several measuring tracks has the advantage that the electrically conductive element can be reliably detected even when the documents to be checked skew.
- the probability also decreases that security threads which have tears are located exactly where they impair detection. This can also reduce the sensitivity to tears in the security thread during the measurement.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic representation of the arrangement of transmit and
- the document 10 can, for example, be a banknote in which a metallic security thread 20 is embedded in a known manner.
- the electrodes 30, 40 preferably have a width which substantially overlaps the width of the security thread.
- the electrodes can have a width of 1.5 mm.
- the transmitting and receiving electrode of an electrode pair can be at a distance of e.g. B. 5 mm.
- the electrode pairs can extend over the entire width of the document.
- the electrode pairs are to be arranged in such a way that when the security thread is in the area of the electrodes, the measurement signals capacitively coupled over from the respective transmitting electrode to the respective receiving electrode do not interfere with one another.
- the increased number of measuring tracks due to the arrangement of several pairs of electrodes is particularly advantageous when the documents to be checked skew.
- the length of the security thread can also be detected in the case of a multi-track arrangement of the electrodes, which extends over the entire width of the document.
- the transmitting and receiving electrodes can also be used to detect the electrically conductive Elements in the document may be sufficient, especially if it is not desired to record the entire length of the security thread.
- the transmitting and receiving electrodes are then preferably to be arranged in the center of the document moving past the electrodes, so that even when the document is skewed, the security thread can cause the signal to be overcoupled from the transmitting to the receiving electrode.
- a modulated signal is coupled to the transmission electrode and the capacitive transmission of the modulated signal to the transmission electrode is measured.
- the modulated signal is only transmitted if the electrically conductive element is in the area of the transmitting and receiving electrode.
- Fig. 2 shows an oscillator 50 for generating a carrier frequency signal, for. B. of about 220 MHz and a modulation oscillator 60, the Fre ⁇ frequency z. B. is set to 455 kHz.
- the signal of the carrier frequency oscillator is transmitted via a phase shifter 90 which, for. B. an undesired phase shift obtained due to stray capacitances is eliminated, fed to a mixer 70 and multiplied there by the modulation frequency.
- a 200% amplitude modulation is used as the modulation.
- the modulated carrier frequency signal obtained by the mixer 70 is fed to the transmitting electrode 30 and transmitted to the receiving electrode 40 by means of the electrically conductive element (not shown here).
- the signal obtained at the receiving electrode 40 is fed to a further mixer 80 and mixed there with the same carrier frequency, as a result of which the modulation frequency of 455 kHz is recovered.
- Mixing the modulated carrier frequency signal can e.g. B. by in-phase multiplication of the modulated carrier frequency signal with the same carrier frequency.
- the signal with the modulation frequency can over a preamplifier 100 is fed to a narrow-band filter 110.
- the filter serves to suppress noise and enables a narrow-band amplification of the measurement signal in amplifier 120.
- the output signal of amplifier 120 which is proportional to the logarithm of the signal amplitude and has a bandwidth of z. B. 3 kHz, is then fed to a device 130 which the amplified measurement signal z. B.
