4.3.1 Antenna configuration example
The following figure shows an example of an application with an antenna configuration of the
RF650R. The antennas are positioned at the height at which the transponders to be
identified are expected. The maximum width of the portal recommended for reliable
operation is 4 m.
The diagram shows a configuration with three antennas. Up to four antennas can be used
depending on the local conditions.
