Abstract

Antennas of an anti-theft system are controlled with a pulse width modulated square-wave signal by a power control unit and a phase control unit. The control is such that a change in power causes no change in phase, and vice versa. This is accomplished by varying the pulse width of the square-wave signal if a change in power occurs and at the same time shifting the pulse rise time such that the phase remains constant.
