Road Loop Antenna Installation

Introduction

The Road Loop Antenna is designed for vehicle applications. Road

Loop Antenna wire is available in lengths that will accommodate

roadways or gate entrances up to 36-feet in width. For antennas

wider than 36 feet, contact AXCESS Inc. Customer Support at 800-

577-6080.

The Figure 26 shows a simplified diagram representing the field

generated by a Road Loop Antenna. In reality, antenna fields are

lobed and asymmetrical, but the longest range will still be along the

longest sides. If you are installing a Road Loop Antenna in a multi-

level parking garage, keep in mind that the field extends up and down

from the Road Loop.

Antenna fields are affected by the type of pavement, amount of rebar,

and nearby power lines. For these reasons,

it is strongly

recommended that the Road Loop be laid out and tested before

it is permanently mounted
