UHF RFID Ceramic Antenna – APCA80120

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 915 MHz and 866.5 MHz versions are designed for different RFID frequency requirements. Choose the version that matches the frequency band supported by your RFID reader and tags, as well as the regulations in your target market.

This antenna uses linear polarization, which generally performs best when the tag antenna is aligned with the reader antenna’s polarization. Circular polarization is often more suitable when tag orientation varies. The best choice depends on how tags are positioned in your application.

The antenna is available with an SMA connector or a customized connector option. If your device uses a different interface, confirm the connector type and any cable or assembly requirements with the supplier before ordering.

This antenna is specified for an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. Check that the expected operating environment remains within this range when selecting the antenna for your application.
