Symbol RFID Antennas

Comprehensive RFID Antenna Solutions for Diverse Application Needs
RFID Antennas from Symbol Technologies offer versatility and performance to meet diverse application needs. When used in conjunction with an appropriate Symbol RFID reader, communication with Electronic Product Code (EPC)-compliant RFID tags is accurate, fast and efficient. Available as a dual-directional panel array or a high performance area antenna, these highly efficient antenna solutions from Symbol are vital components in reader-tag communications

High-Performance Area Antennas for High-Capacity, High-Throughput Environments
High-Performance Area Antennas are general-purpose antennas for long range and large area RFID tag reading. Optimized to perform in industrial and retail environments, these area antennas are easy to mount on ceilings and walls to create superior read zones around shelves, doorways and dock doors anywhere boxes and pallets are moving into and out of a facility.

These packaged, rectangular antenna arrays offer a wide read field and high-speed RF signal conversion for fast and optimal communication of EPC-compliant passive tag data. High-Performance Area Antennas are typically used in applications requiring the longest read ranges and highest levels of performance. They meet standard technical requirements for any RFID implementation and are deployment-ready with Symbol RFID readers.

Dual Directional Panel Antenna Array for Compact Applications
Dual directional antennas deliver RFID performance in a compact, low-profile housing designed for indoor and outdoor environments. Designed for greater mounting and application flexibility, they provide excellent performance whenever space considerations are the first priority.

The dual directional panel antenna is designed to cover 900 MHz ISM* band frequencies and features UL 94 V0 plastic and PC board with Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (UL) highest flame retardant rating for maximum flexibility in placement. It meets the most stringent building fire rating codes and is easy to mount on an adjustable diversity bracket. This allows for installation to masts of up to 4 inches (10.2 cm) in diameter or to flat surfaces with elevation adjustments of +/- 30 degrees. Azimuth adjustment is accomplished by rotation around the mast. There is no adjustment necessary for wall mounts.
