8dBi UHF RFID Narrow Beam Embedded Shelf Antenna – 275x105x12mm

A UHF RFID narrow beam antenna is designed to concentrate radio frequency energy within a relatively focused area. In RFID systems, it helps direct the reading zone toward specific locations, such as conveyor lanes, access points, or designated tracking areas. This makes it useful for applications where controlled coverage and reduced reads from surrounding areas are important.

A narrow beam RFID antenna provides more focused coverage than a wider-beam antenna, helping limit the reading zone to a specific area. This can reduce unwanted reads from nearby tags and improve control over where RFID identification takes place. It is particularly useful in applications that require precise zone coverage, such as item tracking on production lines, targeted inventory checks, and controlled passage monitoring.

The antenna has a horizontal beamwidth of 100° and a vertical beamwidth of 50°. These characteristics help system designers plan the reading zone according to the installation layout. The final coverage depends on antenna positioning, mounting distance, and the surrounding environment.

Yes. The antenna is listed for access control systems and vehicle management, as well as personnel and asset management. Its focused coverage can help define a reading area around a designated access point or vehicle passage, depending on the system layout and installation conditions.

This antenna is specified for indoor use, with an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. It should not be assumed suitable for direct outdoor exposure. For outdoor installations, confirm the required environmental protection and select an antenna designed for those conditions.

The antenna uses an SMA-female connector, has a 50 Ω impedance, and supports a maximum input power of 100 W. Before connecting it to an RFID reader, check connector compatibility, operating frequency, impedance, and the reader’s RF output requirements.
