  • Page 15: Antenna Patterns

    Antenna patterns Alignment of transponders to the antenna Polarization axis Since the RF622A antenna has linear polarization, it is necessary to consider the alignment of the transponders used in relation to the antenna. The polarization axes of antenna and transponder must always be parallel. The symbol on the antenna indicates the polarization axis.

    Antenna patterns 5.4 Interpretation of directional radiation patterns Interpretation of directional radiation patterns The following overview table will help you with the interpretation of directional radiation patterns. The table shows which dBi values correspond to which read/write ranges (in %): You can read the radiated power depending on the reference angle from the directional radiation patterns, and thus obtain information on the read/write range with this reference angle with regard to a transponder.
