Hi All,
This seems to be the place to ask for help on a fun project I am playing with. I am wanting to make something like laser tag but with radio. I am no expert on radio so excuse my ignorance. Everyone would where a vest with a simple radio transmitter and when you pull the trigger it will detect the signal if it is pointing at a vest/person.
I am not sure what freq range I should be into do this, however I am wanting to cover a distance of say 200 meters. My thought was that it will all be in the antenna for the accuracy. I am thinking that the antenna could be housed in a tube like a felt pend that is lead lined to eliminate any stray freq and only detect the vest. I understand that at 200 meters the area that would cover would be quite wide, but for this purpose it does not matter too much.
Any help and further reading suggestions would be helpful.
Regards
Nick
