Gate with Center Island Configuration
Figure 2-3 illustrates a typical gate application with the readers and antennas posi-
tioned on a center island to read tags mounted on the inside windshield on the driver’s
side (United States). The antennas are placed to allow time for the gate to open so the
vehicle can roll through without stopping while not allowing room for an untagged
vehicle to be between the vehicle being read and the gate.
