Hello there,
I am trying to put together an obstacle detection system that detects RFID tags from a minimum distance of 3 m. These tags are to be worn by employees in a warehouse and the reader and antenna are to be mounted on a moving forklift.
I have already purchased SparkFun Simultaneous RFID Reader - M6E Nano (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14066).
What antenna would work best for this application? I am thinking of getting a circular polarized antenna. But they are a bit out of my budget. Will a linear antenna do the work? Again, the read range should be minimum 3 m (so the forklift operator has enough time to stop).
Thanks
