Methods or arrangements for sensing record carriers, {e.g. for reading patterns} by electromagnetic radiation, e.g. optical sensing; by corpuscular radiation {sensing by radiation using wavelengths larger than 0.1 mm, e.g. radio-waves or microwaves using at least one antenna particularly designed for interrogating the wireless record carriers the antenna being of the very-near field type, e.g. capacitive}
