RFID antennas are critical components that determine the performance, range, and reliability of RFID systems. These specialized antennas enable efficient electromagnetic field generation and signal reception between RFID readers and transponders, directly impacting read range, accuracy, and system effectiveness in industrial applications.

Industrial RFID Antenna Technologies

Metratec offers comprehensive RFID antenna solutions engineered for optimal performance across different frequency ranges and application requirements:

UHF RFID Antennas (868/915 MHz)

Our UHF RFID antennas operate at 868 MHz (ETSI) and 902-928 MHz (FCC), delivering maximum read range and field uniformity for long-distance identification applications. These high-performance antennas are optimized for industrial environments requiring robust, reliable operation.

  • Circular polarized antennas – Reduced orientation sensitivity for versatile tag positioning
  • Near-field UHF antennas – Controlled read zones for precise item identification, eg. at Point-of-Sale
  • Gate antennas – Portal configurations for supply chain and inventory management

HF RFID Antennas (13.56 MHz)

Our HF RFID antennas operate at 13.56 MHz, providing precise near-field coverage for applications requiring controlled read zones and high positional accuracy. These antennas excel in industrial environments where precise positioning and interference immunity are critical.

  • Loop antennas – Various sizes for different read range requirements from 5cm to 60cm
  • Flexible PCB antennas – Custom shapes and configurations for specific applications can be done on request
