Low-profile antennas can be mounted in out-of-the-way spots. Their small size, rugged construction and Linear-Polarity make them ideal for close proximity settings such as smart shelf applications in retail or pharmaceuticals. Options are available for different settings, including groundplane independent models such as the CVO, which can be mounted to metal, wood or fiberglass.

Circularly Polarized Patch antennas generally provide the best coverage for an RFID Reader Antenna. The radiation pattern makes it possible to get reliable read capture rates when tags are coming from all directions. Antenna gain should be selected to match the desired read distance, whether reading close-up tags passing through a portal or tags at a distance coming through a dock-door, or even in a staging yard.

Some RFID installations require extremely durable antennas. Mobile Mark offers heavy-duty, impact resistant antennas that have passed rigorous Industry and Military standards for Shock & Vibration testing. They can be mounted in any setting (including in close proximity to metal which normally has a tendency to detune RFID antennas) and can be used indoors or outside.

The Nearfield Loop Design offers maximum power density in close proximity to the antenna. Mounting options include wall mount or tape mount. Dual Polarity antennas provide the smallest footprint possible for the gain; they are a great selection when space it at a premium. They offer efficient coverage on applications such as conveyor belts.

Mobile Mark designs antennas for unusual settings. The Fork Lift setting provides ample challenges for antenna design; the all-metal siding blocks efficient signal transfer while not providing enough backing for a solid groundplane. Mobile Mark’s innovative PN7 Series antennas address these challenges to provide efficient coverage. Custom designed antennas can be converted to handheld use to scan the contents of a truck or container.
