Chip orientation plays a major role in optimum performance of the reader and
reading distances. In the figure below, CHIP(S) A, in a parallel orientation to the
windings of the antenna, will achieve its maximum reading distance towards the
center of the coil or in parallel to either end of the antenna. CHIP(S) B, in the
perpendicular orientation to the antenna, will achieve its maximum read distance
towards the outside edges of the antenna. It is therefore recommended to move
the antenna in a circular motion so that at some point you are energizing the chip
with a greater magnetic field making it easier to find the microchip.
