How activator loop works?
 

Hello, first off I apologize in advance for all the stupid things I can say next (I'm pretty ignorant in this area)


as i understand... the activator loop "emit a little power :confused:" over the air , when a transponder it's over it, it use that power to activate itself and use his own battery to send the ID , right? I'm talking about transponder with a single 2032 battery

I'm trying to figure out how i can detect myself that "power" from the loop to activate my own system (don't send anything, just use the loop as trigger)

Can someone help me in the right direction?

I don't believe that any lap timing systems for RC cars have loops that emit any energy. The transponders transmit a very short message once every few milliseconds, all the time. The loops only receive, never transmit.

There are plenty of other systems that do send a signal to the transponder. Automated toll systems operate like this.

But don't let that keep you from creating a system that operates as you desire!

Thanks for your reply, amb tranx 140 works like i said (i'm not sure if it's used for RC) they have an small battery with 3-5 years duration, and they are triggered by the loop itself, i'm trying to understand this technology
