Abstract

The invention relates to a method for generating and providing individual pieces of position information in order to determine a location using a processing unit (2) and multiple local position transmitters (31, 32, 33, …, 3n). The processing unit (2) is supplied with at least four different navigation signals (41, 42, 43, 44), each of which corresponds to a satellite signal on the basis of the global navigation satellite system, and each navigation signal (41, 42, 43, 44) contains at least information on the transmission time and the transmission location. The processing unit (2) generates at least four modified navigation signals by temporally shifting the at least four different navigation signals (41,42, 43, 44) relative to one another such that the target location coordinates which can be obtained therefrom correspond to a target location on the basis of the global navigation satellite system. The analyzing unit (2) then superimposes the at least four modified navigation signals in order to form a modified summation navigation signal (61, 62, 63, …, 6n) and transmits same to the local position transmitters (31, 32, 33, …, 3n). The summation navigation signal (61, 62, 63, …, 6n) is calculated individually for each local position transmitter (31, 32, 33, …, 3n).

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method and a device for determining a relative alignment of a first GPS antenna (10) to a second GPS antenna (20). The device comprises the first GPS antenna (10), the second GPS antenna (20), a phase shifter (16), which is electrically connected to the first GPS antenna (10), a combiner (30), which is electrically connected to the phase shifter (16) and the second GPS antenna (20), a GPS receiver (40), which is electrically connected to the combiner (30), and a controller (50), which is electrically connected to the GPS receiver (40) and the phase shifter (16). A GPS reception signal (Sig1) emitted by the first GPS antenna (10) is phase-shifted by means of the phase shifter (16) by a phase shift (φ) that can be set by way of the controller (50) and is added by means of the combiner (30) to a second GPS reception signal (Sig2) emitted by the second GPS antenna (20). The composite signal (Sum) thus produced is determined for at least three different phase shifts (φ), and on the basis of these data the profile of the composite signal (Sum) is determined. On the basis of the profile of the composite signal (Sum), the relative alignment of the two GPS antennas (10, 20) in relation to one another is determined.

Abstract

The invention relates to a group antenna having at least two transducers (3) disposed offset from one another, and having a network (7) provided to supply the transducers (3), said network comprising coaxial cables (11.1, 11.2...) running between a distributor and/or summation circuit (9) and the access, connection, and/or supply points (13) of the transducer (3) in question. The invention is characterized in that the network (7) comprises at least two different types of coaxial cable (11.1, 11.2...) characterized by different phase speeds.

Abstract

An improved method and an improved device for the contact-free transmission of data from and/or to a plurality of data or information carriers (9) are characterized by the following features: After the exchange of information between a read and/or write device (1) and a data or information carrier (9), said carrier is switched to a standby impedance mode (Z4) in order to reduce undesired interaction with data or information carriers (9) adjoining the antenna field, said mode differing from an initial impedance mode (Z1) and communication impedance modes (Z2, Z3) during the emission of an information signal from the data or information carrier (9).
