Antenna HG G-98820ZA utilizes a completely new antenna concept, which has a larg-
er reading area with a linear transponder positioning function. The antenna is so-called
1.5 dimensional, meaning that it outputs the Transponder code as well as the linear
deviation rectangular to the direction of travel as well as the information „Before tran-
sponder“, „Crossing of the transponder“ and „Behind transponder“.
Götting transponder antennas have a consistent output format, that also enables the
user to configure additional system information. This additional information, for exam-
ple, may be used by an external visualization system (e.g. vehicle control unit with dis-
play) and enables statements regarding the condition and availability of antennas and
transponders.
This system description refers to Transponder Positioning Antenna HG G-98820ZA
with the firmware 98820A41.07 or higher (also refer to Figure 12 on page 33).
