A system for and a method of monitoring a plurality of transceivers is
disclosed. In one embodiment the method includes enabling one transceiver
of the plurality of transceivers. The method also includes disabling all
other transceivers of the plurality of transceivers. A transmit coil
emits a high frequency electromagnetic field, the one transceiver
transmitting a signal in response to the field of the transmit coil. At
least one of a plurality of reader coils receives the signal transmitted
by the one transceiver, the plurality of reader coils being suitably
arranged in the vicinity of the area to be monitored. An evaluator
determines a position of the one transceiver from the signal received
from the one transceiver by the at least one of the plurality of reader
coils.
