One- and two-antenna configurations are typical for most conveyor and container tracking. Four-antenna configurations are used for portals and loading dock doorways. Caution For uncontrolled environments (in the general population), the spacing between the antenna(s) and any persons must be at least 9 inches when the reader is operating at full power (4 Watts EIRP). To eliminate the spacing restriction, reduce the reader power to 3 Watts EIRP. Readers located in controlled access environments (occupational) have no spacing restrictions Figure 1–MP9320 Antenna Configurations 6 The MP9320 is factory calibrated for operation with the following type of antenna: The following antenna cable type is suggested: It is highly recommended that the antenna mounting be adjustable in order to obtain the best performance from the system. However, the antennas must be installed on a solid surface or frame to prevent damage or later misalignment. Perform the following to install the antennas. NOTE:Use the existing mounting holes on the antenna flange. Drilling new holes in the flange is not recommended. 1.Determine the location of each antenna. Ensure the antenna(s) will not be vulnerable to damage by moving inventory or equipment. 2.Use the antenna as a template and mark the mounting holes. 3.Drill and tap (if necessary) mounting holes for #10 or 1/4 inch mounting screws. For drywall mounting, use drywall anchors or toggle screws. 4.Mount each antenna and install the mounting screws. Do not overtighten the screws. Damage to the antenna case may result. 5.Route each antenna cable back to the reader location. For dual-opposing or portal configurations, route the opposing cables so they can not be damaged by equipment or personnel. 6.Secure each antenna cable with wire tie…

FREQUENCY HOPPING SEQUENCE The random frequency hop sequence was created using the random sequence generator found at http://www.random.org/sform.html , which generates true random numbers using atmospheric noise measurements. "The way the random.org random number generator works is quite simple. A radio is tuned into a frequency where nobody is broadcasting. The atmospheric noise picked up by the receiver is fed into a Sun SPARC workstation through the microphone port where it is sampled by a program as an eight bit mono signal at a frequency of 8KHz. The upper seven bits of each sample are discarded immediately and the remaining bits are gathered and turned into a stream of bits with a high content of entropy. Skew correction is performed on the bit stream, in order to ensure that there is an approximately even distribution of 0s and 1s. The skew correction algorithm used is based on transition mapping. Bits are read two at a time, and if there is a transition between values (the bits are 01 or 10) one of them - say the first - is passed on as random. If there is no transition (the bits are 00 or 11), the bits are discarded and the next two are read. This simple algorithm was originally due to Von Neumann and completely eliminates any bias towards 0 or 1 in the data." (from http://www.random.org/essay.html ) A "smallest value" of 0 and "largest value" of 129 were entered, corresponding to the 130 different frequencies we use, and the following random sequence was generated: 61, 7, 112, 60, 102, 35, 0, 122, 6, 66, 117, 69, 110, 78, 107, 9, 91, 59, 44, 121, 50, 126, 8, 24, 94, 19, 46, 127, 72, 114, 73, 68, 111, 56, 29, 86, 54, 120, 58, 118, 28, 125, 93, 52, 49, 115, 36, 129, 20, 3, 27, 74, 21, 113, 90, 106, 89, 47, 77, 57, 18, 75, 40, 80, 76, 17, 119, 11, 37, 105, 83, 48, 13, 82, 1, 10, 109, 4, 79, 2, 12, 43, 103, 32, 108, 67, 25, 45, 38, 53, 14, 34, 22, 116, 55, 26, 62, 99, 81, 71, 98, 70, 95, 128, 64, 88, 16, 84, 5, 41, 97, 23, 100, 31, 96, 51, 65, 104, 30, 101, 123, 87, 124, 42, 92, 63, 39, 15, 33, 85 . The active frequency is set sequentially from the above table. This results in a channel hop sequence of [61], [7], [112], [60], etc. where [xx] denotes a channel number. The resultant frequency hop sequence in MHz is 914.3, 903.5, 924.5, 914.1, etc. The sequence wraps around so that when on frequency [85], the NEXT frequency will be [61]. The raw table was scanned for adjacent frequencies, and if/when one was found, that index was moved further in the sequence until indices were no longer adjacent. The first and last five (5) channels in the table are not used by the hardware to avoid potential out of band interference levels. This allows for 120 total channels available for the hop sequence. When a blanked channel is selected in the table software will automatically step to the next valid channel on the list. This sequence is coded into a fixed HOP TABLE which is used by the software. This table is used to set frequencies, and index to the NEXT frequency in the sequence: Frequency (MHz) Channel Number Next Channel in Hop Sequence 902.100 0 122 902.300 1 10 902.500 2 12 902.700 3 27 902.900 4 79 903.100 5 41 903.300 6 66 903.500 7 112 903.700 8 24 Frequency (MHz) Channel Number Next Channel in Hop Sequence 903.900 9 91 904.100 10 109 904.300 11 37 904.500 12 43 904.700 13 82 904.900 14 34 905.100 15 33 905.300 16 84 905.500 17 119 905.700 18 75 905.900 19 46 906.100 20 3 906.300 21 113 906.500 22 116 906.700 23 100 906.900 24 94 907.100 25 45 907.300 26 62 907.500 27 74 907.700 28 125 907.900 29 86 908.100 30 101 908.300 31 96 908.500 32 108 908.700 33 85 908.900 34 22 909.100 35 0 909.300 36 129 909.500 37 105 909.700 38 53 909.900 39 15 910.100 40 80 910.300 41 97 910.500 42 92 910.700 43 103 910.900 44 121 911.100 45 38 911.300 46 127 911.500 47 77 911.700 48 13 911.900 49 115 912.100 50 126 912.300 51 65 912.500 52 49 912.700 53 14 912.900 54 120 913.100 55 26 913.300 56 29 913.500 57 18 913.700 58 118 913.900 59 44 Frequency (MHz) Channel Number Next Channel in Hop Sequence 914.100 60 102 914.300 61 7 914.500 62 99 914.700 63 39 914.900 64 88 915.100 65 104 915.300 66 117 915.500 67 25 915.700 68 111 915.900 69 110 916.100 70 95 916.300 71 98 916.500 72 114 916.700 73 68 916.900 74 21 917.100 75 40 917.300 76 17 917.500 77 57 917.700 78 107 917.900 79 2 918.100 80 76 918.300 81 71 918.500 82 1 918.700 83 48 918.900 84 5 919.100 85 61 919.300 86 54 919.500 87 124 919.700 88 16 919.900 89 47 920.100 90 106 920.300 91 59 920.500 92 63 920.700 93 52 920.900 94 19 921.100 95 128 921.300 96 51 921.500 97 23 921.700 98 70 921.900 99 81 922.100 100 31 922.300 101 123 922.500 102 35 922.700 103 32 922.900 104 30 923.100 105 83 923.300 106 89 923.500 107 9 923.700 108 67 923.900 109 4 924.100 110 78 Frequency (MHz) Channel Number Next Channel in Hop Sequence 924.300 111 56 924.500 112 60 924.700 113 90 924.900 114 73 925.100 115 36 925.300 116 55 925.500 117 69 925.700 118 28 925.900 119 11 926.100 120 58 926.300 121 50 926.500 122 6 926.700 123 87 926.900 124 42 927.100 125 93 927.300 126 8 927.500 127 72 927.700 128 64 927.900 129 20 FREQUENCY HOPPING DWELL TIMES The dwell time for the UHF Reader is designed for a range between 150 and 350 mS, based on the following software characteristics: 1. A millisecond counter is used to track time since the last hop. That is, at each hop, a counter is loaded with a constant number of milliseconds. At each millisecond time tick, the counter is decremented as long as it remains nonzero. The counter is preloaded with a value of 300. 2. When the reader has its field on but is not actively searching for tags, the software will hop whenever the counter becomes zero. A consistent time of 300 mS between hops in this situation has been verified. 3. When the reader is actively searching for tags, service delays and the need of tags for a stable field make it impractical to hop at precise time intervals. For this case the software follows a number of rules t…
