An improvement in sampling a high frequency input analog signal and converting it to a digital output signal is accomplished by using a multitude of analog-to-digital converters in conjunction with a distributed sampling system. The method includes scanning an object and analyzing one or more reflected signals from the to determine a suggested location for placement of an RFID tag. A first base member is coupled to an end of the plurality of first parallel conductive members, and a second base member is coupled to an end of the plurality of second parallel conductive members.
