Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0707295A1] An electronic security system to prevent theft of articles uses a hanger (9), to which the article is attached, that is located within an electromagnetic field. The hanger contains an inductance and capacitance coupled as a resonator device and is located between transmitting (8) and receiving (10) aerials. A voltage controlled oscillator (2) is controlled to produce a range of frequencies that are mixed (3) with the output of a second oscillator (18) and a multiplier (19). The receiver output is mixed with a half the frequency of the VCO output and is used in the detector. The presence of the hanger triggers the alarm.
