Abstract

See full text

A flexible curtain antenna comprised of one or more panels containing at least one conductor antenna. The conductors in the panels are coupled to a transmission device, such as an interrogation reader, to form an antenna. The panels are attached to a mounting structure. The curtain antenna is designed so that objects can pass through the panels. As objects containing wireless communication devices pass through the panels, the panels come into close proximity to the wireless communication devices on the objects. The interrogation reader uses the panels as antennas to establish communication with the wireless communication devices on the objects to retrieve information about the objects. This information can be further communicated to a reporting system and/or a remote system using either a wired or wireless connection.
