UHF Near-Field RFID Antenna – 175x175mm

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 right frequency version depends on your RFID reader, tags, and installation location. Confirm frequency compatibility and check local regulations before selecting the antenna.

Its 1 mm profile can be useful for RFID systems with very limited installation depth. Before integrating it into a counter, panel, or compact device, check the mounting method, cable routing, and effects of nearby materials.

The 80° horizontal and vertical beamwidths describe the antenna’s angular radiation pattern. They help characterize its coverage, but the actual RFID reading area also depends on tag characteristics, reader settings, antenna placement, and the installation environment.

DC Ground is a specified feature of this antenna’s lightning protection design. The complete protection arrangement depends on the installation and grounding system, so confirm the required grounding and surge protection before deployment.
