ABSTRACT:
An electronic article surveillance antenna system for wide exit interrogation zones is provided. In a first aspect, a first and a second transmit antenna, each adapted for installation on opposite sides of a wide interrogation zone. A third transmit antenna is adapted for installation adjacent the ceiling of the wide interrogation zone. The first, second, and third transmit antennas are connectable to a transmitter for generation of an interrogation signal for transmission into the wide interrogation zone. A plurality of amorphous core receiver antennas are adapted for installation in the grout region of a floor of the wide interrogation zone. The output of each of the plurality of amorphous core receiver antennas are connectable to a receiver for detection of a response signal from an electronic article surveillance tag disposed in the wide interrogation zone. The response signal is responsive to the interrogation signal. The plurality of amorphous core receiver antennas can be configured in a plurality of orthogonal pairs of amorphous core receiver antennas. In a second aspect, the transmit antennas are loop antennas and the receiver is comprised of a plurality of amorphous core receivers adapted for installation on opposite sides and the ceiling of the wide entrance.
