1. In a method for identification of bulk goods, in which method a radio frequency transmitter/reader (1) is used to identify a radio frequency identification device (12, 22) arranged in the bulk goods, the improvements comprising:
- moving a radiation midpoint (3) of a directed radiation beam (5) of the radio frequency transmitter/reader (1);
using said midpoint (3) for perpendicular identification of an object to be identified; and
directing radiation of radiating antenna elements (13, 23) with the radio frequency identification device (12, 22) towards the radio frequency transmitter/reader (1).

Abstract
In a method for identifying bulk goods from a radio frequency identification device on the bulk goods with a radio frequency reader antenna a radiation midpoint of the radio frequency reader antenna is moved along the radio frequency reader antenna and radiation from the radio frequency identification device is directed toward the radio frequency reader antenna.
