UHF RFID Ceramic Antenna – APCA8090

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 5 dBi gain describes the antenna’s directional performance, but the actual reading distance should be tested under your application conditions.

Linear polarization generally performs best when the tag antenna is aligned with the reader antenna’s polarization direction. If tags move or rotate frequently, consider whether linear polarization suits your application or whether a circularly polarized antenna would be a better fit.

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.

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