Description
ELECTRONIC FREQUENCY MODULATOR The present invention relates to an electronic frequency modulator of the type wherein a lower band frequency is transmitted on a carrier wave being an upper band frequency. The present invention has particular application in its use as an electronic scarecrow, however it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is of wider application as a deterrent to animal and insect crop pests, and is not therefore to be li itively construed by the following detailed description of its use as an electronic scarecrow.
In Australia considerable damage is done to crops and in particular orchards by flying foxes (fruit bats) and birds which descend and devour or damage fruit prior to harvest.
Inf an average orchard of ten acres containing between three and four thousand fruit trees it is not uncommon for, from two to three million flying foxes, to descend on the orchard and completely devastate the fruit crop and even to break the secondary growth on the trees all within a time span of half an hour.
In order to prevent such destruction of crops, orchardists and growers presently use nets, electric wires and guns in' an effort to at least save some of the crop.
These three presently used methods are only partially effective as both electric wires and guns are activated on a periodic cycle and the birds or bats soon learn when the deterrent is non-activated and netting of large areas of orchards or crops is both labour intensive and inefficient in coping with the extreme numbers of birds or bats that can descend on a crop or orchard. The present invention seeks to substantially overcome or at least ameliorate to a great extent the above disadvantages.
In one broad aspect there is provided an electronic frequency modulator which combines a lower band frequency with an upper band frequency to produce a square wave
output on transmission from a transducer, preferably a peizo ceramic.
In a further aspect of the invention there is provided a method of protecting crops from crop pests using an electronic frequency modulator which combines a lower band frequency with an upper band frequency to produce a square wave output on transmission from a transducer, preferably a peizo ceramic.
The present invention generates acoustically pressurized air waves which affect the muscular and skeletal structure of the bird or bat in flight and the unpleasant sensation causes the bird or bat to divert its flight path to avoid the effect.
Whilst sonic and ultrasonic devices are known and - have been tried in the past as a deterrent against birds and bats, they have proven ineffective because the bird or bat soon realises that it is only a noise and there is nothing physical preventing them from feeding.
Through lengthy trials it was discovered that only a specific modulated frequency corresponding with the bird or bat's wing beat would give an unpleasant effect causing the bird or bat to divert its flight path and avoid the effect. It was found that within certain species not every member of that species would be affected by the one modulated frequency.
The ultrasonic frequency effective in controlling crop pests was found to lie within the following ranges. marsupials 10 - 25 KHz birds 15 - 35 KHz insects 40 - 80 KHz

The present invention is a combination of two frequencies, an upper and a lower band frequency modulated together to produce an FM effect on transmission from a piece of peizo ceramic.
The lower band frequency, referred to as infrasonic frequency, is produced through a linear ramp in a 555 IC working as an astable operation which when triggered produces a pulse applied to an IC LM 3900 (op-amp) producing a staircase generation system which ramps down from a 12 volts. A zena diode Dl supplies the offset and prevents pin 5 of the 566 chip approaching the 12 volt locking up the ramp output of T5 producing a linear range of sweep voltage. The IC3 roduces a s uare wave out ut in the form
of an FM signal which is applied to T9 via pin 3 of IC3 in the required ultrasonic frequencies. The combination is then applied to a common output amp configuration of known circuitry type. The infrasonic signal is to be at the same pulse length as the bird's wing beat. Any alteration to that frequency will have little effect on controlling of birds.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the combination of an infrasonic pulse frequency modulated with an ultrasonic pulse and used as a deterrent for crop pests is unique; and modifications both to the design of the transmitter and the circuitry may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
