Embodiment Construction

[0031] The main elements in the equipment is a number of transmitters 1 (for example 4) sending GPS-like signals in the 2.4 GHz band. The transmitters have antennas 2 fixed in exact surveyed positions at the arena. Further a number of mobile units 3 with receivers 13 for the GPS-like signals are installed on players and ball. For example 3 such receivers 13 with antennas 4 and batteries 5 may for example be mounted on each player and one on the ball. The transmitter 6 with antenna 7 in the mobile unit 3 may be a radio transceiver for approximately the same frequency band as indicated above and be connected with a miniature data processor 8.

[0032] In the use of transceivers, two-way communication may be performed between fixed units 1, mobile units 3 and central unit 20 so that data from the mobile units 3 are processed in the data processor 8 for determining for example position parameters before these data are transferred to the central unit 20 and possible signals are sent from t...
