About Antennas
The 3D-iD Antennas are attached to the Cell Controller and are DC
powered by special, low-loss Coaxial Cables. Up to sixteen (16)
Antennas may be attached to a single Cell Controller. The Cell Con-
troller generates a 2.44GHzradio signal which it sends to the Antenna
via the Coaxial Cable connecting them. The Antenna broadcasts the
signals to the surrounding area with an ellipsoidal radiation pattern. Any
Tags that are within range recieve the signal, add their serial number,
and transflect the signal back to the antenna at 5.77GHz. The Antenna
then sends the response back down to the Cell Controller which
measures the delay between when the signal was sent and when it was
received, thus generating Tag-Antenna Distance (TAD) data.

The Antennas come with a mount allowing them to be attached to a flat
surface, such as a wall. For other mounting configurations, please
contact your certified 3D-iD system integrator.
