.~ With means for moving directive antenna for scanning, sweeping or orienting {6}
760
.~.~ With signal, indicator or alarm
DEFINITION
Classification: 343/760
(under subclass 757) Subject matter together with signal, alarm, or indicator structure which is responsive to the scan, sweep or orientation of the antenna, independent in its operation from the collected or radiated signal.
(1) Note. For classification in this subclass the signal, indicator or alarm structure must be claimed in combination with the means for moving the directive antenna for scanning, sweeping or orienting to indicate some function or result of such motion of the antenna, as for example, direction of the antenna or angle swept through by the antenna; as opposed to subclass 894 where general signal indicator or alarm structure combined with an antenna for indicating some condition of the antenna is classified.
(2) Note. Where an indicator is claimed broadly in combination with an antenna and means for moving such antenna, although such indicator is disclosed as not only showing a condition of the antenna, as the position of its sweep or scan from point to point but also as showing some condition in response to a received signal (as in a cathode-ray tube, the location of a remote signal), such subject matter is not classified in this subclass but as a direction finding receiver under this Class 342, subclasses 417+.
