ABSTRACT:
In order to locate a transponder in a roadway there are first and second antenna arrays at spaced locations. Each array is associated with a switching control which causes the array beam to step through a series of beams. The signal developed in each beam is converted to a digital result. The strongest beam from each array may be determined and the location of the transponder at the intersection of the two strongest beams.
