How to Select RFID Antenna
An RFID antenna is a necessary part of any RFID system. Unless the antenna is embedded into a reader, you will need to select and purchase the right antenna for your application. There are many options to choose from. Selecting the right RFID antenna can depend on several factors, such as the application, frequency band, read range, and mounting requirements.
Here are some general steps you can follow to select an RFID antenna:
1. Frequency Band:
Ensure that the antenna operates in the same

RFID Inlays, Tags, and Labels: What’s the Difference?
What’s the Difference between RFID Tags, Inlays & Labels?
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology is used to identify and
track objects using radio waves. RFID systems consist of three main components:
a reader/scanner, an antenna, and an RFID tag, inlay, or label.
When
designing an RFID system – a few components typically come to mind, including
RFID hardware and software. For hardware, typically
RFID Readers, RFID Antennas, & RFID Tags are selected based on the respective use
