The antennas in this section are suitable for use in the FCC 902928
MHz band. These antennas are used primarily in North America and
other select regions around the world.
2.1.
ANTENNA-013
2.1.1.
Technical Description
The ANTENNA-013 is single-element patch antenna with a 42 beam
width. This antenna has a typical gain of 13 dBi and is primarily used as
an (external) auxiliary read point antenna for the ID5100 reader in the
902928 MHz (FCC) band.
This antenna has a relatively narrow beam width so it is useful in areas
where the operation area needs to be constrained such as might be
encountered where readers are on close adjacent lanes. It has linear
polarization and so is best used where the orientation of the RFID tags is
in a predefined alignment with the antenna.
This antenna has the same characteristics as the one integrated into the
ID5100 (FCC) reader
Figure 1
ANTENNA-013
2.1.2.
Typical Applications
Antenna-013 is intended for use in the FCC frequency band with the Sirit
IDentity 5100, 5200, and 5204 readers in AVI applications. The antenna
radiation pattern is linear polarized and is intended for applications
where the orientation of the tags/transponders is fixed and matches that
of the antenna. AVI applications typically use a horizontal orientation.
This antenna has a broad 42 beam width and will provide the correct
field pattern for a single standard vehicle lane width when mounted on
an overhead gantry at a height of approximately 18 ft (5.48 m) and with
the antenna elevated to an angle of 5 to 10 towards the oncoming
traffic flow. The antenna is intended for general purpose tolling where
wide area coverage is required.
Multiple lane applications are acceptable when lane discrimination is not
critical. For example, traffic management systems, divided ETC lanes,
or EVR systems.
2.1.3.
Electrical Installation
ANTENNA-013 is equipped with one N-type Female (Jack) connector.
Use only an N-type Male mating connector.
Refer to Appendix B for more information on cable and connector
selection and installation.

ANTENNA-018-E
2.2.1.
The ANTENNA-018-E is single-element patch antenna with a 63 beam
width and Right Hand (RH) circular polarization. This antenna has a
typical gain of 9.5 dBic and is primarily used as the (external) auxiliary
read point antenna for the ID5100 reader in the 902-928 MHz (FCC)
band.
The circular polarization makes thus antenna particularly suitable for use
where the orientation of the RFID tag is not predefined. This antenna is
the same as the internal integrated unit in the ID4100 (FCC band) reader.

Antenna Cable and Connector Selection

In order to obtain the highest performance from your RFID reader and
antenna system the proper cables and connectors must be used in the
installation. The following tips will help ensure the reliability and quality
of your system:
Cable Selection
h Pre-plan the antenna cable route before installation. This will help verify
the length of cable required and allow you to select the correct cable
type.
h Whenever possible, use the highest quality cable with the lowest loss
(the longer the cable the lower the loss that is required). This will ensure
that the reader is able to transmit the full RF signal to the tag and
receive the best return signal from the RFID tag.
h When selecting the cable, ensure it is suitable for the intended
environment (i.e. suitable for outdoor use?).
h Observe recommended minimum bending radius. RF performance can
be degraded by too small or tight bending radiuses. Use larger bend
radiuses if cable is exposed to temperature extremes.
h During installation use care to not damage the cable jacket and expose
the shield. Jacket damage can result in shield corrosion and cable
failure.
h Ensure that all cable entry points are fitted with the correct cable
bushings, grommets, or strain reliefs.
Connectors
h Use the highest quality connectors possible and ensure that they are
the correct type for the cable in use.
h Refer to the connector manufacturer specifications to ensure that the
cable insulation and conductors are cut to the proper length.
h If using crimp style connectors, ensure you have the correct size
crimping tool and the tool is applying the correct pressure to the
connector. Sirit recommends making several test crimps before
attempting a connector installation.
h If the connector is to be exposed to the elements, Sirit recommends
that weatherproofing be applied to the connector assembly. Cable
boots, self amalgamating tape, or other weatherproofing is
recommended.
