Abstract:

An electronic barrier utilizes a bifurcated beam of wave energy to establish a barrier area having a null between the forks thereof. Objects encroaching on said beam cause a portion thereof to be scattered in the forward direction. Suitable receiver equipment located remote from the source of the bifurcated beam and responsive to the forward scattered beam is connected to provide an indication of said encroachment.
