Transceiving device
First Claim
1. Optical transmitter unit (10) for transmitting messages by means of infra-red signals to electronic units (ESL) located in a predefined space having a number of boundary surfaces, said transmitter unit having at base member (6) and at least one source of infra-red light (9) mounted to said base member (6);
- characterized by a reflector unit (3) having at least one reflecting surface (31, 32, 34, 35), the reflector unit being mounted on said base member (6), and the reflecting surfaces being arranged adjacent said source(s) of infra-red light so as to direct light from said light source(s) in a direction such that an essentially uniform power distribution is obtained on one or more selected boundary surfaces of said predefined space.

Abstract
The present invention relates to an optical transmitter unit (10) comprising a transmitter unit comprising at least one source (9) of infra-red light mounted to a base member (6), for transmitting messages by means of infra-red signals. The transmitter unit further comprises a reflector (3) unit mounted on the base member (6), wherein said reflector has a number (n) of reflecting surfaces (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36) for transmission. It is designed to distribute the infra-red light from said at least one source in a predefined space having an arbitrary number of boundary surfaces in such a way that a substantially uniform signal power distribution is obtained on at one or more selected boundary surfaces of said predefined space.
