Permissible directions of motion of the transponder
Detection area and direction of motion of the transponder
The transponder and reader have no polarization axis, i.e. the transponder can come in from
any direction, assume any position as parallel as possible to the reader, and cross the
transmission window. The figure below shows the active area for various directions of
transponder motion:
