2.1. RFID UHF antenna The new Kathrein antenna family consists of various UHF reader antennas, which can meet the needs of virtually any RFID application. The antennas are divided into three product lines with respect to the reading range: low range, mid range and wide range antennas.
The following accessories are available for the reader (if you have questions about the accessories, please contact our Sales Office): Antennas: For use with UHF-RFID antennas; we recommend the Kathrein RFID antenna types ULoRa, LoRa, MiRa, WiRa. These antenna types are available for all frequency ranges.The mentioned types of antennas...

1 dB. If specifi ed at all, the usual value on the market lies at around 3 dB. The improved circularity of the Kathrein wide range antennas leads to a significantly reduced influence of the read results caused by the position or orientation of the transponder.

Product description English The correct combination of reader antenna and transponder is essential for every RFID application. The correct selection ensures a high read rate and reliable operation of the system. The LoRa and ULoRa antennas can read loop-shaped, hybrid-form and dipole-form transponders up to 10 cm and offer a very well defi ned read range.
UHF readers from Kathrein. As a further option, it is possible to integrate the modular Kathrein RFID UHF reader latform in the WIRA antennas to also provide a powerful single read point for certain applications. As a result of the consistent continuation of the platform strategy for antenna and reader, all product and interface variants already introduced are available in nu- merous combinations.

Installation Installation English The MiRa and WiRa antennas are relatively insensitive to the type of attachment and the materials surrounding the antennas. Nevertheless few conductive objects in the vicinity of the antenna should be presented. In addition, other objects, such as containers with liquids in the vicinity of the antenna affect their functionality. In such cases, a reassessment of the antenna in the particular installation conditions is necessary.
Installation Installation English 5.3. Wall/mast clamp Note Selecting the installation location: Before drilling the holes, make sure there are no electrial cables in the wall. Risk if fatal injury due to electric shock ! Make sure that the wall / the mast has a sufficient capacity. Use the appropriate mounting hardware (not included). You may need to strengthen the wall of your desired mounting location or use a different masts.
