Introduction
The described antenna is designed to be used for positioning and/or trackguiding ve-
hicles. All important parameter settings, calibration and updates are carried out via an
integrated serial interface or CANopen

Examples of automated vehicles using transponder systems
Antenna HG G-98810-C utilizes an antenna concept, which has a larger reading area
with a linear transponder positioning function. The antenna is so-called 1.5 dimension-
al, meaning that it outputs the Transponder code as well as the linear deviation rect-
angular to the direction of travel as well as the information „Before transponder“,
„Crossing of the transponder“ and „Behind transponder“.
Götting transponder antennas have an output format, which enables the user to con-
figure additional system information. This additional information, for example, may be
used by an external visualization system (e.g. vehicle control unit with display) and en-
ables statements regarding the condition and availability of antennas and transpon-
ders.
This system description refers to Transponder Positioning Antenna HG G-98810-C
with the firmware 98810C11.004 or higher (also refer to Figure 12 on page 32).

Variants
The serial signal is made available via potentially separated RS 422 or RS 232 inter-
faces. In addition, the positioning pulse is galvanically insulated. Furthermore a CAN
Bus interface, galvanically insulated as well, is included. The variants shown in Table
1 below are available, they can be distinguished by the second to last character of the
product number, e.g. HG G-98810
