Vehicle identification: TeleTag UHF 

Examples 
 
Example 1: 

Let us consider a URC reader and TeleTag on a standard windscreen.  

 

 

Nominal range: 7 m 

 

Average

 angle x: 20°   

 

Average

 angle y: 30° 

 

Corrected Range (

Dc

) = 

7

 

* 0.94 * 0.87 =

 5.72 m 

 
Example 2: 

Let us consider a URC reader and TeleTag on a heat-reflective windscreen. 

 

 

Nominal range: 4 m 

 

Average

 angle x: 20°   

 

Average

 angle y: 30° 

 

Corrected Range (

Dc

) = 

4

 

* 0.94 * 0.87 = 

3.27 m

 

 

STEP TWO:

 calculate the 

Ground Range (

Ds

 

 

 

 
The angle z adjustment coefficient is applied to Corrected Range (

Dc

) to give the Ground Range (

Ds

). 

 

For example 1:  

Dc 

= 5.72. If angle Z is 30°, then:  

Ds 

=

 

5.72m * 0.87 =

 

4.97 m

 

 

For example 2: 

Dc

 = 3.27. If angle Z is 30°, then:  

Ds 

=

 

3.27m * 0.87 =

 

2.84 m

 

Dc : Distance de lecture corrigée

Ds:  Distance au sol
