The Echo-6P is a compact, circularly polarized UHF RFID antenna for the European frequency range at 868 MHz. With an antenna gain of approx. 6.5 dBic and a beam width of approx. 84°, the antenna may be operated in Europe with up to 33 dBm ERP, which allows read ranges of up to 12 m (depending on the UHF reader and transponder).
The compact housing measures 160 x 165 x 30 mm (plus the antenna socket on the bottom side). The antenna is connected to the reader via an R-TNC socket and has a dust- and waterproof housing according to IP65.
On the back, the housing is closed by a continuous aluminum plate, which also makes the antenna robust against external influences. Riveted threads allow the antenna to be mounted on any wall bracket that follows the 100×100 VESA standard.
