Abstract
A system for controlling the movement of an animal relative to an area is provided having a signal transmitter (18) with a transmitting antenna (19) associated with said area. A loop of wire (19) serves as the transmitting antenna (19) and defines the boundary of the area. An electronic receiver (15) carried by the animal is responsive to a signal produced by the transmitting an-tenna (19) for producing an animal control output, such as an annoying tone or an electrical shock, to the animal whenever the animal moves into the vicinity of the transmitting antenna (19). The electronic receiver (15) has first (24) and second (25) ortho-gonal receiving antennas for receiving the signal produced by the wire loop antenna (19). Each antenna receives a respective com-ponent of the transmitted signal. Selection circuitry (30, 31 and 32) selects which of the respective components has greater magni-tude and produces an actuating output to identify such component.
