Abstract
Abstract A receiving device for detecting the presence of an indicating device in a restricted investigation zone, where coils and associated feed and receiving equipment are provided to emit and receive magnetic alternating fields in order thereby to detect the presence of an indicating device in the investigation zone, which indicating device is capable to receive alternating fields and to re-emit an alternating field. Said receiving coils for receiving said re-emitted alternating field comprise at least two coil sets (10,10',10"), each of which constitutes a so-called balanced coil wound to a configuration corresponding to two substantially rectangular eights located to the side of each other in the same plane. The coil sets (10,10',10") are located in parallel with each other, preferably in the same plane, where each of the coil sets (10,10',10") is offset, relative to an adjacent coil set, in a direction in parallel with said plane through a distance corresponding to about one fourth of the distance (2a) in the offset direction between the outer opposed sides (18,11;14,15) in a coil set (10).

Claim 1
Independent Claim
183 words
A receiving device for detecting the presence of an indicating device in a restricted investigation zone, where coils and associated feed and receiving equipment are provided for emitting and receiving magnetic alternating fields in order thereby to detect the presence of an indicating device in the investigation zone, which indicating device is capable to receive alternating fields and re re-emit an alternating field, characterized in that said receiving coils, which are provided to receive said re-emitted alternating field, comprise at least two coils sets (10,10',10"), where each coil set constitutes a balanced coil wound to a configuration corresponding to two substantially rectangular eights located to the side of each other in the same plane, and that said coil sets (10,10',10") are located in parallel with each other where each of the coil sets (10, 10',10") is offset, relative to an adjacent coil set, in a direction in parallel with said plane a distance corresponding to about one fourth of the distance (2a) between the outer opposed sides (18,11;14,15) in a coil set (10), which sides are aligned substantially perpendicular to said offset direction.

A receiving device for detecting the presence of an indicating device in a restricted investigation zone, where coils and associated feed and receiving equipment are provided for emitting and receiving magnetic alternating fields in order thereby to detect the presence of an indicating device in the investigation zone, which indicating device is capable to receive alternating fields and re re-emit an alternating field, characterized in that said receiving coils, which are provided to receive said re-emitted alternating field, comprise at least two coils sets (10,10',10"), where each coil set constitutes a balanced coil wound to a configuration corresponding to two substantially rectangular eights located to the side of each other in the same plane, and that said coil sets (10,10',10") are located in parallel with each other where each of the coil sets (10, 10',10") is offset, relative to an adjacent coil set, in a direction in parallel with said plane a distance corresponding to about one fourth of the distance (2a) between the outer opposed sides (18,11;14,15) in a coil set (10), which sides are aligned substantially perpendicular to said offset direction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
A receiving device as defined in claim 1, characterized in that each of the coil sets (10,10',10") has such a configuration, that the outer winding portions (11-18) form a rectangle and the remaining winding portions (19-22) divide the rectangle into four smaller rectangles of equal size.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
A receiving device as defined in claim 2, characterized in that those of said smaller rectangles constituting the first and third quadrant comprise a respective coil wound in the same direction, while those of said smaller rectangles constituting the second and fourth quadrant comprise a coil wound in the opposed direction.
