orientation
1. The position of a tag antenna vis-a-vis a reader antenna.
2. Alignment of the tag with respect to the reader or tag.
With UHF systems, readers can be either circular-polarized or linear-polarized. When using a linear polarized antenna, the tag reader and antenna reader must be in alignment in order to achieve the longest reading distance.
If that tag antenna is aligned vertically and the reader is sending out signals horizontally, only a small portion of the energy emitted by the reader will will hit the tag antenna.
