RFID Antennas

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is mainly used in logistics to record and automate the movement of goods. Frequency ranges from long and short wave to microwave are used. WiMo offers RFID antennas for the UHF and SHF range, i.e. for the ISM/SRD ranges at 433 MHz, 868 MHz and 2,450 MHz. These are both directional and omnidirectional antennas. The maximum range is determined by the type of RFID tags, usually several meters are reached (long range coupling).

The RFID antennas offered by us have in most cases a gain of several dB compared to an ideal omnidirectional antenna. The gain is achieved by focusing the electromagnetic field, not by amplifier technology. Antennas are therefore purely passive components that do not require their own power supply. We also offer coaxial cables with the necessary connectors for RFID antennas. There are many standard lengths available, if desired we can also offer custom-made cables at reasonable prices.

FAQ

What is an RFID transponder?
An RFID transponder is a small electronic device that uses radio waves to transmit data wirelessly. It consists of a microchip and an antenna embedded together, usually in a card, label or small container. The microchip stores information that can be queried via radio waves by an RFID reader without the need for direct line of sight or physical contact. RFID transponders are used in many ways, for example for tracking goods, access control or in contactless payment systems.

How to choose the right RFID antenna?
Choosing the right RFID antenna depends on many factors, such as the frequency of the RFID tag, the reader range, the material on which the tag is mounted and the environment in which the antenna is used. It is important to consider these factors and consult an expert in RFID technology to select the best antenna for your application.

How does RFID technology work?
RFID stands for Radio-Frequency Identification, i.e. identification using radio waves. This technology uses small electronic devices consisting of a microchip and an antenna to transmit information wirelessly over short distances. An RFID system consists of a tag, a reader and often a host system that processes the data. The RFID tag contains a stored data set. When the tag comes within range of an RFID reader, it is activated by the radio frequency signal emitted by that device. The tag uses the energy of the incoming signal to send its stored response signal, which is then picked up by the reader. This information is often used to identify or track the object to which the tag is attached. There are two main types of RFID tags: passive and active. Passive tags do not require their own power supply system, but draw their energy from the signal emitted by the reading devices. Active tags, on the other hand, have their own power source, which gives them greater range and storage capacity, but also influences their size, cost and lifespan. This technique is widely used in various areas, from logistics to access control to timing systems in sporting events.
