Times-7 A1163 Formed Radome NearField UHF RFID Antenna

The Times7 A1163 is the largest antenna in True NearField Antenna Series and the largest near-field RFID antenna on the market, measuring 604 x 304 x 8.5mm. This antenna was designed to deal with difficult to read assets, such as liquids or metals, much like the other antennas in this series. Our True NearField antennas excel in applications demanding precise “near zone only” tag detection. The A1163 guarantees dependable tag reads within an ultra constrained zone by minimizing far-field components and eliminating surface dead spots. Its expansive footprint simplifies installation, reducing costs and complexity requiring fewer readers and cables.
