Description/ application areas
Preferred for the identification of goods
at loading gates: Similar to configuration
4, but the reliability of transponder identi-
fication is improved as a result of the four
antennas at separate locations, so the
transponder position is not critical.

This tunnel configuration is suitable for
conveyor belt applications. The goods
with the transponders to be read are
moving forwards on a conveyor belt but
the alignment of the transponders rela-
tive to the antennas is not clearly de-
fined. One of the antenna is located on
the floor and radiates vertically upwards
in the direction of the conveyor belt. A
relatively high reading reliability is
achieved due to the use of four anten-
nas.
