Description/ application areas
This arrangement of antennas is appro-
priate when the transponders to be read
are only located on one side of the
goods to be acquired, for example, if a
conveyor belt with passing goods has to
be monitored during production and it is
precisely defined on which side the tran-
sponders to be read are attached.
