4.3.3 Transponder orientation in space
The alignment of the transponder antenna to the antenna of the reader influences the
reading range. For maximum performance and to achieve the maximum read range, the
transponder antenna should therefore be aligned parallel to the reader antenna:
Parallel transponder alignment
Large reading range
The probability of identification of the tran-
sponders is at a maximum.
Vertical transponder alignment
Minimal reading range
The probability of identification of the tran-
sponders is at a minimum.
