Abstract

See full text

A novel antenna system disposed around a conveyor belt for the interrogation of objects passing through the antenna which overcomes centralized dead zone problems is disclosed. A frame antenna is disposed around a conveyor belt and is tilted to form, for example, a 30 deg. angle with the vertical longitudinal plane of the conveyor belt, which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane within which the conveyor belt lies, and a 30 deg. angle with the transverse axis of the conveyor belt. In this way, a 'dead-zone' free read area is formed to facilitate the read of a transponder oriented in any manner as it moves along the conveyor belt.
