RFID Slim Near Field A3020
The RFID Slim Near Field A3020 is a 12 mm thin near-field UHF RFID antenna for the universal 860-960 MHz band.
- Frequency Range: 860-960 MHz
- Read Range: Up to 150 mm (depends on reader power and environment)
- Peak Gain: -2 dBi
Description
The RFID Slim Near Field A3020 is a 12 mm thin near-field UHF RFID antenna for the universal 860-960 MHz band. A -2 dBi peak gain keeps the read zone close to the antenna surface — tags are read within about 150 mm, while tags as close as 100 mm away are rejected — and VSWR stays below 1.3:1 across the full band. It reads tags on metals and liquids and through most packaging. The 300x200x12 mm body (plastic top, aluminium bottom) with SMA Female connector weighs 500 g and handles up to 2 W (33 dBm).
Features
- Near-field design with -2 dBi peak gain, reading tags within 150 mm
- Universal 860-960 MHz RFID band
- Resists interference from surrounding tags within 100 mm
- Reads tags on metals, liquids and through most packaging
- VSWR < 1.3:1 across the full band, 2 W (33 dBm) maximum power
- 300x200x12 mm black radome (plastic top, aluminium bottom) with SMA Female connector
