Abstract

A search system for searching buried persons is provided including a radio device with a receiving device including at least one receiving antenna and adapted to receive the field of a transmitter antenna, wherein the radio device is adapted to determine the direction of the field vector of the transmitter antenna relative to the at least one receiving antenna; as well as a user interface device with at least one interface for interfacing with the radio device, as well as at least one output device for outputting search information derived from the direction of the determined field vector and perceivable by a user; wherein the radio device and the user interface device are each formed as separate units, which are each encompassed by an own housing, and wherein the search system includes determining means for determining the relative orientation of the user interface device to the radio device. Moreover, it relates to a corresponding method for search a buried person.
