ABSTRACT:
An training collar for conditioning the behavior of an animal employs a radio transmitter in conjunction with a microprocessor-based receiver unit mounted on the collar to provide enhanced control over the level of electrical stimulation delivered to the animal through collar mounted electrodes. The transmitter generates control signals including a stimulation level code, and a detector in the receiver unit extracts the stimulation level codes from the control signal and couples them to the microprocessor. The microprocessor implements a control program to generate trains of voltage pulses having widths determined by the stimulation level code. The generated train of voltage pulses control current flow in a transformer based power delivery circuit to generate voltage pulses at the collar electrodes having peak to peak voltages determined by the widths of the voltage pulses in the generated voltage pulse train. The number of different stimulation levels for a given voltage range is limited only by the number of bits used to specify the stimulation level code in the control signal, and thus provides greater control over increments in the level of stimulation applied to the animal.
