3.2.2. Aiming of Antenna
Antenna Pattern for MPR-3014WF-QB
MPR-3014WF-QB comes with a set of (up to 4) antenna pairs each circular polarized to
ensure reading tag with random orientation. Most circular polarized antenna has a
horizontal to vertical differential of up to 3 dB, this will cause the antenna pattern to
deviate from a true circle. AWID’s antenna has a horizontal to vertical differential of
typically less than 0.5 dB, making the antenna pattern as near to a circle as possible.
