Wide Range RFID UHF Antenna - WRA 6060

The WRA 6060 antenna features a homogeneous read zone emitted by the high front-to-back ratio. This makes it ideal for static detection of multiple transponders. Its thin design enables the antenna to be integrated into different applications.

Key Applications

  • Vehicle Registration
  • POS
  • Smart Shelf
  • Kanban

Wide Range UHF RFID 7070 Antennas - WRA 7070

Wide range antennas (WRA) with large reading distances are the optimal choice for classic far-field applications.

Its low axial ratio for circular polarisation, greatly reduces the dependence of reading results upon the position or alignment of tags.

  • Read range up to 12 m
  • IP67 outdoor protection class
  • Available in Linear, Circular and ©KRAI

Key Applications

  • Gate applications for goods registration
  • Logistics
  • Vehicle registration
  • Bulk and single-tag applications

Mid Range RFID UHF Antennas – MIRA Circular Antenna Unit

The mid-range antenna (MIRA) is built for a wide reading range in between the near and far field. Reading distances of up to 5 m are possible with dimensions of 143.8 x 156 mm.

MIRA is used for reading distances up to 2 m and offers reading range selection.

Key Applications

  • Logistics applications: installing to corridor conveyor vehicles
  • Materials handling applications
  • Gate applications for goods registration
  • Bulk and single tag applications
  • Access systems

Mid Range RFID UHF Antenna -  S-MIRA Circular Antenna Unit

The mid-range antenna (MIRA) was developed for applications in the range between the near and far-field. The focus of the compact design was for integration in space-critical applications. Reading distances of up to 5 m are still possible with dimensions of 143.8 x 156 mm. In this case,
however, the reading range is very wide.

In most cases, the MIRA is used for reading distances up to 2 m, for which it features sufficient selectivity. Therefore, this antenna design is especially suitable for applications in the so-called transition area with different tag types.

Key Applications

  • Logistics applications: installing corridor conveyor vehicles
  • Materials handling applications
  • Gate applications for goods registration
  • Bulk and single tag applications
  • Access systems (e.g. ski lifts, control systems for tickets)

Low Range RFID UHF Antenna | U-LORA Antenna Unit

The Ultra-Low Range Antenna (ULORA) and Low Range Antenna (LORA) feature a high field concentration in the near field with simultaneously
extremely minimised antenna gain in the far-field. With these properties, the antennas achieve outstanding reading and writing results with ranges up
to 10 cm with a typical selectivity of 5 cm. The special design of these antennas guarantees interference-free operation in multi-reader environments.
The ULORA was specially developed to read dipolar tags (far-field tags) at very limited distances. In addition, this antenna can address
looped tags (near field tags) up to 3 cm. The LORA version was developed in order to increase the range for near field tags, with which ranges up to 7 cm can be achieved. The range of applications of the antennas according to tag type is displayed in the tag association table.

Key Applications

  • Pharmaceutical industry 
  • Access controls
  • Automation industry

Wide Range 40° Antenna Unit

Kathrein offers the most comprehensive passive UHF RFID antenna portfolio. For applications in the read
range up to 20m, the WiRa 40 is characterized by a high antenna gain, for optimum reading of transponders, even at great distances. Thanks to its 40° apperture angle in both directions a selective detection
at a long read range and at the same time highspeed is possible. Due to the linear polarization of the
antenna the optimal reception is possible even for weak transponders. This makes the WiRa 40 the ideal
antenna for detection of vehicles at a great distance

 

Key Applications

  • Road Charging
  • Enforcement
  • Smart City Application
