8dBi UHF RFID Narrow Beam Inventory Tracking Antenna – 300x160x10mm

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.

This antenna has a horizontal beamwidth of 77° and a vertical beamwidth of 48°. These specifications help system designers evaluate how the antenna’s coverage aligns with the target reading area. Proper positioning is important to achieve the desired coverage and reduce reads from outside the intended zone.

The antenna is specified for an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C, making it suitable for consideration in environments within that range. For freezer applications, also evaluate condensation, moisture protection, tag performance at low temperatures, and the installation conditions before deployment.

Yes. The antenna is listed for file cabinet management and asset management applications. It can be incorporated into a compatible RFID system to identify tagged files or assets within a designated reading area. Antenna placement and tag positioning should be tested to help achieve reliable identification while limiting reads from nearby areas.

This model uses a PCB structure and has a flat profile measuring 300 × 160 × 10 mm. Its form factor may be useful when integrating an antenna into equipment with limited installation space. The choice between PCB and aluminum structures should also consider the required dimensions, mounting method, mechanical protection, and operating environment.
