Es sind bereits unterschiedlichste Sicherungselemente zur elektronischen Sicherung von Artikeln gegen Diebstahl bekannt geworden. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung eines Sicherungselementes in Form eines "Thin Film"-Etiketts wird in der EP 0 295 028 B1 beschrieben. "Thin Film"-Etiketten bestehen aus einer dünnen, vorzugsweise im µm-Bereich liegenden Schicht aus weichmagnetischem Material. Die weichmagnetische Schicht wird vorzugsweise mittels eines physikalischen Abscheideverfahrens unter Vakuumbedingungen auf ein Trägersubstrat aufgebracht.A wide variety of securing elements are already available electronic security of articles against theft known. A particularly advantageous embodiment a security element in the form of a "thin film" label is described in EP 0 295 028 B1. "Thin "Film labels consist of a thin, preferably in µm layer of soft magnetic layer Material. The soft magnetic layer is preferred by means of a physical deposition process Vacuum conditions applied to a carrier substrate.
Neben den "Thin Film"-Etiketten werden insbesondere zur Artikelsicherung im Lebensmittelbereich die sog. "Strip"-Sicherungselemente eingesetzt, die aus einem streifenförmigen, weichmagnetischen Material bzw. aus einem weichmagnetischen Draht bestehen.In addition to the "Thin Film" labels, the Article security in the food sector, the so-called "strip" security elements deployed from a strip-shaped, soft magnetic material or from a consist of soft magnetic wire.

Zur Detektierung von Sicherungselementen in einer Abfragezone sind eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Verfahren bekannt geworden. So wird in der EP 123 586 B vorgeschlagen, zusätzlich zu zwei Abfragefelder mit den Frequenzen f1 und f2 im kHz-Bereich ein Feld mit einer im Hz-Bereich liegenden Frequenz in die Abfragezone zu senden. Die beiden Abfragefelder mit den Frequenzen f1 und f2 regen ein in der Abfragezone befindliches Sicherungselement zur Aussendung eines charakteristischen Signals mit den Intermodulationsfrequenzen n•f1 ± m•f2 (n, m = 0, 1, 2,...) an. Das niederfrequente Abfragefeld bewirkt, daß das Sicherungselement im Takt dieses Feldes von der Sättigung in eine Richtung zur Sättigung in die andere Richtung getrieben wird. Das charakteristische Signal tritt daher periodisch mit der Frequenz des niederfrequenten Feldes auf.For the detection of security elements in a Query zones are a variety of different procedures known. In EP 123 586 B suggested, in addition to two query fields with the Frequencies f1 and f2 in the kHz range a field with an im Hz range frequency to send in the query zone. The two query fields with the frequencies f1 and f2 rain a security element in the query zone for Transmission of a characteristic signal with the Intermodulation frequencies n • f1 ± m • f2 (n, m = 0, 1, 2, ...) on. The low frequency query field causes the Securing element in time with this field of saturation in one direction to saturation in the other direction is driven. The characteristic signal therefore occurs periodically with the frequency of the low-frequency field on.
Als alternative Lösung ist auch bekannt geworden, lediglich ein im kHz-Bereich liegendes Abfragefeld zur Erregung des Sicherungselementes zu verwenden, wobei das charakteristische Signal des Sicherungselementes wiederum im Takte eines niederfrequenten Feldes, das das weichmagnetische Material zwischen den beiden Sättigungen hin- und hertreibt, auftritt.An alternative solution has also become known, merely a query field in the kHz range to excite the Use security element, the characteristic signal of the fuse element in turn in time with a low-frequency field that the soft magnetic material between the two saturations back and forth, occurs.
Zur Detektion von Sicherungselementen mit Resonanzschwingkreisen wird ein schmalbandiges Wechselfeld in die Abfragezone abgestrahlt, das das Sicherungselement zur Aussendung eines charakteristischen Signals im Bereich seiner Resonanzfrequenz anregt.For the detection of security elements with Resonant circuits become a narrow-band alternating field radiated into the interrogation zone that the fuse element for sending a characteristic signal in the area excites its resonance frequency.
