Tag Orientation
Factors Affecting Performance
• Water or water-based products will inhibit (absorb) the signal.
• Metal surfaces near the tags may affect performance.
• Misuse of tags (i.e. bending the tag antenna) could cause the tags to
become dysfunctional.
• Any emitted radiation in the 902Mhz to 928Mhz range can interfere
with the device operation.
Single Dipole Antenna Tag Dual Dipole Antenna Tag
Tags that have a single dipole
antenna should be vertically
positioned for optimal read
performance.
Tags with dual dipole antennas are less susceptible to
polarization and can be read in either horizontal or
vertical alignments to the read plane.
