The invention concerns a method and devices for checking security documents.
According to this process which uses known capacitive coupling, electrical
signals are transmitted by transmitting antennae via electrically conductive
security features to receiving antennae and amplified. The amplitude responses
and time characteristics of the electrical signals are then evaluated and
compared with existing signal responses, by being converted into signal
responses having easily comparable parameters. In order to enable the testing
arrangement to be specifically selective, a selective amplifier is
additionally coupled to the evaluation electronics. Currency-specific
definition by means of the evaluation electronics according to the invention
is attained in that, for a given currency, a time limit of the test signal
amplitude can be determined by means of controllers, for example, this time
limit differing from the duration of the amplitude response of all the other
currencies.
L'invention concerne un procédé et des dispositifs permettant de vérifier des documents de sécurité. Selon le procédé de vérification de documents de sécurité, qui fait appel au couplage capacitif connu en soi, il est prévu que des signaux électriques émanant d'antennes émettrices soient transmis à des antennes réceptrices par le biais de caractéristiques de sécurité électroconductrices, et amplifiés. Ces signaux sont ensuite évalués d'après leur réponse d'amplitude et leur réponse en temps, et comparés à des courbes de signaux existantes, par conversion en courbes de signaux présentant des paramètres facilement comparables. Afin de parvenir à une sélectivité spécifique du dispositif de vérification, un amplificateur sélectif est en outre couplé à l'unité électronique d'évaluation. On parvient à une définition propre à la monnaie à l'aide de l'unité électronique d'évaluation, du fait qu'une limite de temps de l'amplitude du signal de vérification différant de la durée de la réponse d'amplitude de toutes les autres monnaies, peut être déterminée par exemple à l'aide de contrôleurs.
