RFID antenna
An RFID antenna is the component that generates and receives the radio field used for contactless identification. It has a major influence on the size of the read zone under real operating conditions. Its performance depends on design, frequency, alignment and the surrounding environment, while metal, liquids or electromagnetic interference can significantly affect detection. Depending on the setup, the reading zone can be defined narrowly or extended across a wider area. The right RFID antenna ensures that objects are detected reliably and in a controlled way at gates, conveyor lines and workstations.
