1. What antenna should I select?
Green PCB antennas can be used with both B1 and C1 family. Red PCB antennas are dedicated to be used only with the Pepper C1MUX reader. Flex antennas are dedicated for the Pepper C1 module. Coil antennas can be used with the LF readers like the MicroRWD QT. The golden rule is to select the antenna size comparable to the used tag size.
2. Are your antennas compatible with all RFID readers in the market?
No, our antennas are designed to be compatible with our RFID readers only, operating in the same frequency band.
3. Can you make a custom antenna according to my requirements?
Yes, we design and manufacture custom antennas based on your specific mechanical, electrical or environmental requirements – including size, shape and frequency tuning. We only manufacture custom antennas to work with one of our custom or standard readers.
4. How do you tune your antennas?
Each antenna is tuned in the open air. If you mount such an antenna close to metalwork, the antenna performance will be reduced, and the read range may be even zero.
5. Do I need a custom tuning?
Yes, if you need to install your antenna close to metalwork. „Close” means the antenna is mounted closer than the antenna dimensions to metalwork like a metal device enclosure. Metal mounting screws (M3 or similar) have negligible impact on the antenna tuning.
6. Can I extend/shorten the antenna cable?
It’s possible, but changes in cable length can affect performance and impedance matching. We recommend custom retuned factory made extensions or contacting our technical team for advice before modification.
7. What connectors are available?
Our green antennas are terminated with a 4-pin connector JST PHR-4, while our red antennas are terminated with a 3-pin connector JST PHR-3. Flex antennas have coaxial cables and uFL connector. All standard PCB antennas (green and red) can also be equipped with coaxial cable and uFL connector on demand (this will reduce the final unit cost).
