Multi-transceiver RF alert system for preventing hunting accidents
First Claim
1. A RF system for preventing hunting accidents comprising:
- an attached to a shooter interrogator, which comprises a millimeter-wavelength transceiver containing a transmitter that sends a request signal in an area to which sightline of said firearm is directed and a receiver which receives a response signal from said area to which sightline of said firearm is directed,an attached to a friendly target transponder, which receives said request signal emitted by said interrogator,wherein the improvement comprises;
said interrogator mounted on end of a barrel of a firearm equipped with a single sharp-diagram transmitting-receiving RF antenna, wherein said transmitter and said receiver are separated by a RF circulator, which comprises an electronic unit developing said RF request signal, demodulating said RF response signal and activating alert signs,said transponder comprising a number of miniature RF transceivers attached to hunter'"'"'s hat or belt and evenly spaced around said hat or belt in horizontal plane, wherein each of them contains a receiver equipped with a single wide-diagram transmitting-receiving RF antenna that receives said RF request signal and transmits said RF response signal, wherein said transmitter and said receiver are separated by a RF circulator; and
directional patterns of said antennas overlap each other so covering together 360-arc degree pattern in azimuth,transponder'"'"'s electronic unit developing said RF response signal, demodulating said RF request signal and activating alert signs, wherein each of said miniature RF transceivers is equipped with said electronic unit.

Abstract
The RF system for preventing hunting accidents comprising RF interrogator mounted on the firearm or hunter'"'"'s hat and RF transponder attached to hunter'"'"'s hat, wherein directional pattern of antennas of the hat-mounted interrogator is directed along the line of view of the hunter so matching with sightline of hunter'"'"'s rifle; and RF transponder, which, to cover directional pattern of 360 arc degrees in azimuth, contains a number of RF transceiver evenly attached to the hunter'"'"'s hat in horizontal plane and connected to the single electronic unit. The system provides alert information about “friendly targets” that could be under fire, such as other hunters or persons equipped with said transponder; and if they are, the system develops alert signal: “Do not shoot”.
