Orientation, and Coverage

The positioning of the tags needs to be carefully considered to achieve optimal range and coverage.

Orientation​

The following figure shows the optimal orientation of the tag. It should be positioned:

  • With JST ports at the top or bottom.
  • Vertically or tilted by no more than 15° towards the sky/ceiling.

Coverage​

The antennas of the tags have a range of directions that they can optimally received radars signals from, in order to be detected. Optimal detection will occur when radars and tags mutually fall in each other's coverage areas.

This figure (side view) shows the ±15° coverage of the tag in elevation. It is, therefore advisable to place the tag vertically or, depending on the height of the placement of the radars , with up to a 15° angle towards the sky/ceiling.

This figure (top view) shows the ±60° coverage of the tag in azimuth. It can, therefore, be detected by radars located in most of the space on front of the tag.

info

This information pertains to optimal coverage zones. Outside of these angular ranges, localization of the tags is still possible, albeit at much lower detection ranges.
