Abstract

An antenna arrangement (10) including a first antenna module (12) having a first antenna loop (14) positioned in a plane for emitting a signal in a first spatial area (16), and at least one additional antenna loop (18) positioned in substantially the same plane for emitting a signal in an additional spatial area (20). The arrangement (10) includes at least one power source (22) in communication with the first antenna module (12) for providing current thereto. The first spatial area (16) and the additional spatial area (20) at least partially overlap, and the first antenna loop (14) and the additional antenna loop (18) are powered by the power source (22) in a specified pattern. A method of identifying at least one item (100) is also disclosed.
