UHF RFID Ceramic Antenna – APCA2528

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.

The read range depends on the RFID reader’s output power, tag sensitivity, tag orientation, and installation environment. The antenna’s gain is rated at 2 dBi, but the actual reading distance should be tested under your application conditions.

The ceramic antenna measures 25 × 25 × 4 mm, and the PCB measures 28 × 28 mm. Its compact dimensions make it a potential option for RFID devices with very limited installation space. Check the complete mounting and integration requirements before installation.

Linear polarization generally performs best when the tag antenna is aligned with the reader antenna’s polarization direction. If tags frequently rotate or move in different orientations, consider whether linear polarization suits your application.

The antenna is available with an SMA connector or a customized connector option. Confirm the required connector type and any cable or assembly requirements with the supplier before ordering.
