 Despite this, UHF Systems have read performances as good (if not better) than the conventional low and high frequency systems.Because these UHF tags are made in huge volumes for industrial applications, their price is much lower than that of conventional re-usable transponders and the race does not bother to collect them afterwards.As of 2015, many UHF timers use a combination of ground antennas with panel antenna(s) mounted on a tripod at the side of the race course.
