UHF Near-Field RFID Antenna – 40x30mm

A UHF near-field RFID antenna is designed to provide RFID reading and writing within a localized area at close range. It uses near-field electromagnetic coupling to communicate with compatible UHF RFID tags, making it suitable for applications where items need to be identified individually within a defined reading zone. Common applications include item-level inventory, retail product identification, document tracking, and small-item management.

The main difference is how they communicate with RFID tags and how the reading area is designed. Near-field RFID antennas use near-field coupling and are generally suited to close-range identification within a localized area. Far-field RFID antennas rely on radiated electromagnetic waves and are commonly used when tags need to be read over a wider area or at greater distances. The right choice depends on the required reading distance, tag placement, item spacing, and application environment.

The ETSI version operates at 865–868 MHz (APRIA8000403NF), while the FCC version operates at 902–928 MHz (APRIA9000403NF). Choose the version that matches your RFID reader, tags, and the frequency regulations for your installation location.

Its 40 × 30 × 1 mm profile is designed for installations with limited space, such as compact POS terminals, storage trays, and embedded RFID equipment. Check the available mounting area, connector clearance, and cable routing before integration.

Its low-gain design and compact form factor can be considered for applications that require a defined reading area. However, stray reads cannot be eliminated by the antenna alone; tag placement, reader power, antenna positioning, and the surrounding environment also affect the reading zone.

Yes. The standard configuration uses an SMA-female connector, and connector types and cable lengths can be customized to suit the hardware configuration and installation requirements. Confirm the required connector and cable specifications when placing an inquiry.
