3.10 Capture Area Simulator
The capture area simulator calculates and maps the capture area for several different
WherePort and WhereTag orientations. The simulator is described in Chapter 6.
4 WHEREPORT IN THE FIELD
The basic principles of the WherePort must be translated into applications in the field.
Doors, corridors, rooms, parking lots do not necessarily conform to the requirements of
the WherePort field. In this chapter several common situations are discussed in order to
illustrate how the characteristics of the WherePort affect their positioning on a site.
Figure 22 WherePort Coverage
In the applications that follow the WherePort field will be illustrated as shown in Figure
22. The illustration shows only two dimensions of what is always a three dimensional
field. The field can be imagined as a series of waves that are further apart as they move
out from the coil. The overall shape is like an ellipsoid, an egg shaped object, extending
out in all directions from the WherePort.
In the examples that follow, the WherePort field is described. It must be
remembered that the capture area is what is important. The field is shown to simplify the
presentation.
