The Ultimate Solution for Portal/Gate:

Low axial ration antenna:
Increases the tags reading rate in various RFID applications by allowing the reader to receive much weaker tags transmissions.

• Compact size and light weight
• Enhancing single port reader’s performance
• Available in three UHF applicable bands

Wide beamwidh antenna:
120°x30°, 150°x50° & 30°x60° low axial ration antennas – enable the best portal coverage. The antenna increases the portal coverage and tags reading rate by eliminating the reader’s need to switch between few antennas for the same coverage (with the large Elevation beam) and ignore nearby tags out of the portal (with the narrow Azimuth beam).

• Low axial ration across all beamwidth
• Constant reading state
• No need to switch between upper and lower antennas
• Superior portal coverage

The Ultimate Solution for Item Level:

Near Field antenna
Enables the implementation of item level RFID applications that requires NF tags. The NF antenna is capable of reading NF tags attached to liquid content products.

• High sensitivity, regardless of tag orientation
• Ideal for Item Level Tagging
• Excellent reading in presence of liquids
• Designated coverage area
• Tested with Button and Satellite tags
• Configurable to client’s specific needs

Complete Solution of Forklift

Forklift antenna:
With a very limited antenna size (only 4 units of 190x190 mm or 2 units of 320x260) these antennas provide the full coverage required in forklift applications

• Full coverage
• Compact antenna size
• High robustness and endurance
• High performance

Smart Antenna, Dual Slant and MIMO solutions for Fixed and Mobile WiMAX IEEE-802.16e

MTI Wireless Edge provides a selection of MIMO and smart antenna solutions for WiMAX next generation for both CPE and Base Stations [BTS] improving the system performance and network coverage.

Using MIMO or smart antennas at the base station allows the choice of the most cost effective subscriber [CPE] antenna system improving the Return On Investment [ROI] of a WiMAX network.
The MTI smart antenna solutions are used for beam forming, beam switching, diversity combining and switching, MIMO and other intelligent antenna systems.

The MTI MIMO and smart antenna system solutions augments the signal quality & detection of the radio-based system through more efficient transmission or reception of radio signals hence enhancing capacity, coverage, throughput, frequency reuse and more.

Smart antenna system solutions combine an antenna array with digital signal-processing capability to transmit and receive in a predefined or adaptive, spatially sensitive manner.
By applying a variety of new signal processing algorithms, the adaptive system is able to effectively locate and track end-users signals resulting in dynamically minimized interference and maximized signal reception. This dramatically increases the performance characteristics of a wireless system.

MTI currently supplies a large selection of vertical and horizontal dual polarity antennas and develops Dual Slant CPE and BTS antennas for IEEE-802.16e Mobile WiMAX in 2.3-2.7GHz and 3.3-3.8GHz frequency ranges.

MTI MIMO & smart antenna solutions cover a variety of different frequencies. For example, MTI MT-404052/NV smart base station antenna includes 8 active radiating antenna elements (transmit/receive) and one calibration network.

The phase and amplitude matched radiation column is a 3.4-3.6GHz unit with 120° azimuth beam width. The antenna beam shape and direction is managed by the transceiver with the calibration port measuring the phase and amplitude of each radiating column.

MTI smart WIMAX self-installed indoor subscriber [CPE] antenna is a compact and easy to integrate, switch selectable antenna array specifically designed to meet the needs of the WIMAX market. The antenna is designed to be either integrated as part of the radio, or, supplied as a separate unit to be added on to the radio by the end user.

The MTI smart WIMAX indoor subscriber [CPE] antenna provides full 360 deg coverage by multi directional high gain beams. The high gain directional beams provide better RF link budgets with the base station and reduce side lobes interference. The smart CPE antenna can include 4 to 8 elements with the integral solid state RF switch controlling the active sector.
