The present invention provides for inductive pick-up devices employing a
diversity and adaptive antenna arrangement. By utilizing diversity and
adaptive antennas, the pick-up can be installed by a consumer without use
of a computer monitor or other device to determine alignment. In addition,
the arrangement increases the level of signal available to a data decoding
system. In combining the two types of pick-ups and using the best features
of both, we additionally gain performance on synchronizing frame rate and
picking up data.
