DEVICE FOR IDENTIFYING PIECES OF LUGGAGE PROVIDED WITH AN RFID TAG

摘要

The present invention provides a device for identifying products, such as pieces of luggage or parcels, provided with an RFID tag, comprising a conveyor for conveying the products along a conveying path, a tunnel, through the interior of which said conveying path extends, means for generating, in a central zone of the tunnel, electromagnetic microwave radiation reaching outside the tunnel, which generated electromagnetic microwave radiation may have several modes, at least one RFID antenna inside the tunnel for reading information stored on an RFID tag associated with a product present in the tunnel. At least part of at least one wall of the tunnel defining the interior of the tunnel is tapered from the central zone towards at least one end of the tunnel, such that said at least one end of the tunnel prevents the electromagnetic microwave radiation from reaching outside the tunnel.
