  • Page 42: B Wireless Technology Basics

    Appendix B: Wireless Technology Basics 40 (44) Wireless Technology Basics Wireless technology is based on the propagation and reception of electromagnetic waves. These waves respond in different ways in terms of propagation, dispersion, diffraction and reflection depending on their frequency and the medium in which they are travelling. To enable communication there should optimally be an unobstructed line of sight between the antennas of the devices.

  • Page 43: C Radio Antenna Patterns

    Appendix C: Radio Antenna Patterns 41 (44) Radio Antenna Patterns This section presents information about the radio antenna patterns for the Anybus Wireless Bolt. The diagram scale shows relative RSSI values, where the outer ring represents maximum radio power and is labelled 0 dB. The inner rings represent the increasing attenuation in dB measured in different angles around the Bolt, while maintaining the same distance.
