First Claim
Patent Images
1. A circuit arrangement for vehicle identification, particularly a transponder for transmitting an encoded signal in response to an interrogation signal, comprising:
- a tuning circuit for controlling said transponder having first, second, and third tapping points; and
gating means for activating said transponder upon reception of said interrogation signal, comprising terminals for connection of a battery, and two transistors of opposite type connected in series between said terminals, said transistors having emitter electrodes connected to said first point of said tuning circuit, base electrodes connected to each other and to said second point of said tuning circuit, said third point being connected to one of said terminals.

Abstract
A vehicle identification circuit arrangement with battery power supply in which the transmitting oscillator of a reply station which is modulated according to an identification code is normally cut off and starts to oscillate in reaction to an interrogation signal, the power supply for the remainder of the circuit then being switched on via a gate.
