Abstract:
1. A tracking system, which is adapted to track an object independently of the processing of directionally dependent broadcast signals, comprising an arming unit, a motion detection device, a direction detection device, processing circuitry, a transmitter and an activation device; the arming unit being switchable so as to place the tracking system in either an armed state or an unarmed state, the activation device being arranged to activate the tracking system when the system is in an armed state, the direction detection device and the motion detection device being arranged to output signals indicative of the direction of travel and distance travelled, respectively, to the processing circuitry when the system is activated, the processing circuitry being arranged to act upon said signals so as to generate an output indicative of the distance and direction of travel, the transmitter being actuable to transmit the output of the processing circuitry to a remote receiving station.
