What is an AM Antenna?
AM Antennas – Acousto-Magnetic
AM antennas have a wider detection range than other types of systems. This makes them ideal for larger shop entrances. AM technology works on a lower frequency than RF. Therefore it is perfect for use with liquids and metallic objects as there is less disruption of the signal.
Which retail category preferes AM antennas?
Department stores
Electrical goods stores
Cosmetics and perfume retailers
Hardware stores
How does it work?
A transmitter antenna sends radio pulses which charges any AM tag in its detection area. This causes the tag to emit its own signal which the receiver antenna listens for. Therefore, the system is referred to as acousto-magnetic – “acousto” being derived from the Greek word for hearing. If the frequency known to be emitted by the tag is picked up by the receiver, then the alarm sounds.
