The new Short Mid Range UHF RFID antenna from Kathrein RFID with circular polarization and a beamwidth of 100° is the new addition to the existing Mid Range antenna series. As a supplement to the proven Mid Range antenna, whose read range covers up to 2m, the S-MiRa antenna is especially designed for the range between 10 cm and 1 m. Due to the innovative application of the physical mechanism of action on UHF antennas for the first time, robust solutions for industrial use and scalable adjustment of the read range over the transmission level are now possible.
Needless to say, this antenna from Kathrein RFID also fulfills the IP67 protection category for water tightness making it suitable for outdoor use. The unit also features the same compact dimensions and the proven TNC connection socket so that the user can simply integrate it into an existent or newly set-up RFID identification system.
The S-MiRa antenna is now available (Order no. 52010172) and is especially suitable for use in forklifts and in conveyor technology.
