UHF RFID Ceramic Antenna – APCA1828

A ceramic RFID antenna is an antenna that uses ceramic material as part of its structure or radiating element. It is designed to transmit and receive radio-frequency signals for RFID communication. Depending on its design and operating frequency, it can be used in applications such as access control, asset tracking, and compact RFID devices.

Ceramic RFID antennas can offer a compact structure and stable electrical characteristics when properly designed. Their small form factor makes them suitable for applications with limited installation space. Actual performance depends on the antenna design, operating frequency, installation environment, and RFID system requirements.

Check the available mounting area, antenna placement, connector clearance, and surrounding components before integration. Prototype testing in the final device is recommended to evaluate actual RFID performance.

It may be suitable for short-range identification applications, depending on the RFID reader, tag, installation, and operating environment. The 2 dBi ±1 dB gain specification alone does not determine the actual reading distance.

Linear polarization works best when the antenna polarization is appropriately aligned with the RFID tag antenna. Tag orientation and movement should be considered when designing the reading area.

Yes. An SMA connector or a customized connector option is available. Confirm the connector type and mounting requirements with the supplier before finalizing your device design.
