Wide Range Antenna WRA 3070
If the focus of the application is on the maximum reading range, the WRA 3070 antenna is used. This is achieved by the
largest antenna gain in the Kathrein antenna portfolio and at the same time by the focused 30° beam.
In this view, it can be seen that the WRA 3070 antenna focuses with an aperture of 30° in the plane of the larger dimen-
sion. The selection over the short vertical side is with an aperture of 70° not as high. The following illustration shows the
WRA 3070 antenna in use on a typical logistic gate. Here, 4 antennas are mounted horizontally. When passing through
the gate, a first selective area (30° plane) is passed through. Because the other plane is not focused (70° plane), there
is a continuous reading zone in this dimension. Since a second pair of antennas is mounted on the exit side, a further
selective reading takes place there.
This 30° focus also allows selective reading, making the WRA 3070 the ideal antenna for gate applications. In the typical
gate application with 4 antennas, this results in 4 very selective read zones
