1. A system comprising, an RFID antenna array, an RFID tag reader, and a power supply, the foregoing components being adapted to be worn or otherwise borne by a person and be operatively connected so that the power supply powers the reader and the reader energizes the antenna array and receives RFID tag signals through the antenna array while the person passes through an area as the person's hands and arms are unencumbered by said components, the antenna array being a twin feed unit of serpentine conductors with multiple dipole radiators extending generally perpendicularly to the conductors, a reflective material being spaced at least ¾ inch from the dipole radiators, the antenna array being arranged to simultaneously radiate a near zone in front of the person from floor level to above the person's head.
