UHF Near-Field RFID Antenna – 200x200mm

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

Its compact dimensions can make it a practical option for RFID workstations, counters, and equipment with limited installation space. Check the available mounting area, cable routing, and required reading zone before installation.

DC Ground is a specified feature of the antenna’s lightning protection design. It does not by itself guarantee protection against every surge or lightning event, so the grounding arrangement and overall system protection should be checked for the intended installation.

Circular polarization can help accommodate variations in tag orientation compared with linear polarization. Actual reading performance still depends on tag characteristics, antenna placement, reader settings, and the surrounding environment.
