Description
Overview
This mini RFID reader antenna operates effectively at a maximum read distance of 0.4″ (7.5 cm) and is specifically designed for demanding item-level deployments. Because of its optimized short-range performance, this antenna is immune to the RF-transmission limiting effects of items such as liquids, powders, and metallic packaging. This mini reader antenna is the ideal choice for applications in access control, ticketing, document control, high-speed encoding stations, packaging lines, or any application requiring high reliability and a constrained read zone.
Key Features
- Strong near-field performance for reading tags at a range of 0-7.5 cm
- Small form factor
- Weak far-field gain to minimize stray reads
- Broadband design to enable world-wide operation
