ABSTRACT:
Electromagnetic radiation position detection system and method are disclosed for detecting when a movable object is located at a predetermined position. In a preferred embodiment, polarized microwave radiation emitted from a source fixed relative to the movable object is rotated when the object is in an aligned position and a detector fixed with respect to the movable object and located opposite the fixed source provides a signal when substantially only the rotated, polarized radiation is detected. In one particular embodiment, a plurality of conveyor pans which are part of a car parking tower is the movable object and each pan carries a waveguide which rotates the microwave radiation propagated therethrough. The conveyor pan also has a wheel well with a switch located therein and which, when depressed by the tire of a properly located car on the conveyor pan acts to block the radiation from being detected.
