Abstract

An antenna array for RFID antennas for large cohesive detection spaces, having an operating frequency between 100 kHz and 30 MHz. This antenna array can be connected with at least one reader. There can be at least one antenna consisting of an antenna loop having at least one winding. The antenna array can include at least two antennas that are disposed in a plane, in such a manner that the antenna loops of the individual antennas overlap. With this design, at least one multiplexer can be disposed between the at least one reader and the antennas of the antenna array, for selected activation of the antennas.
