A-PATCH-0025-V2 – 860 – 960 MHz RFID Patch Antenna

This antenna covers both EU and USA RFID bands. The antenna has been designed to be water resistant and is easy to install. It is circularly polarized for reading in any orientation. Due to its circular polarization it can also be used to improve indoor GSM coverage. VSWR is typically less than 1.3:1, giving a return loss better than 20 dB.

This antenna is unique in the RFID environment because of its VSWR & gain specifications.
