UHF Near-Field RFID Antenna – 320x240mm

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 appropriate frequency band depends on the RFID reader, tags, and radio regulations in your target market. Before ordering, confirm that the selected antenna version matches your reader and tags and meets the frequency requirements for your installation location.

This antenna measures 320 × 240 × 6 mm, making it a potential option for RFID installations with limited mounting space. It may be considered for small-item identification, retail product tracking, document management, and item-level inventory. Actual suitability depends on the required reading area, tag placement, and installation conditions.

Missed reads can be caused by tag placement, tag orientation, reader settings, antenna positioning, and nearby materials. Test the system with representative tags under actual operating conditions, then adjust the installation and reader settings as needed. Reading performance depends on the complete RFID setup.

Provide the required frequency band, RFID reader model, tag type, intended reading area, item dimensions, and available installation space. Information about nearby metal or other materials can also help the supplier assess the application and recommend a suitable antenna configuration.
