Abstract

An adaptive range vehicle recovery system including an adaptive range vehicle locating unit including a narrowband baseband generator for generating a narrowband signal, a wideband baseband generator for generating a wideband signal, a timing control circuit responsive to an activation signal to transmit, alternately, said narrowband signal at a first rate, and said wideband signal at a second rate and responsive to a track signal to transmit one of said wideband and narrowband signals at a third, different, rate, and also to an adaptive range vehicle recovery system including an adaptive range vehicle track unit including a data decoder including, a wideband decoder for detecting data from a wideband baseband signal, a narrowband decoder for detecting data from a narrowband baseband signal, a bandwidth detector responsive to a received signal to distinguish narrowband and wideband signals and an input switching circuit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an adaptive range vehicle locating unit and to such a vehicle locating unit which can be more easily located by a vehicle tracking unit within a vehicle recovery system. Background technique [0002] applicant with trademark Successfully marketed and popular vehicle recovery systems include: a small electronic vehicle locator unit (VLU) with a transceiver hidden inside the vehicle; a dedicated network of communication towers, each with a remote transmit unit (RTU); One or more law enforcement vehicles equipped with vehicle tracking units (VTUs); and a network center with a database of customers who have purchased VTUs. The hub is linked to the National Crime Information Centre. The database entries include the vehicle identification number (VIN) of the customer's vehicle and the identification number of the VLU assigned to the customer. [0003] when When a customer of the product reports their vehicle as stolen, ...
