ANTENNAS
The antenna actually broadcasts messages to the tags and receives the tags
responses. The antennas are designed to work exclusively with the PinPoint
3D-iD Cell Controller. The antenna is composed of 2 structures, one designed to
transmit and one to receive. The transmit
structure broadcasts a 2.4 GHz radio fre-
quency signal at 1 watt of power generat-
ed from the Cell Controller. When this
signal is picked up by a 3D-iD tag, the
tag responds with a 5.8 GHz signal
which is picked up by the receive struc-
ture on the antenna. Each antenna is
connected to the Cell Controller by a
dedicated piece of plenum or riser rated
coaxial cable. The coaxial also supplies
the AC needed to power the antenna.
The coaxial cable is connected to a dedicated port on one of the Cell
Controllers 4 x 4 multiplexing switching antenna cards.
Antennas can be mounted flush against walls with provided wall mounting hard-
ware, suspended above ceiling tiles or mounted on tripods.
