Proximity Antennas

Impinj Mini-Guardrail ILT (LP) Indoor RFID Antenna (Global)

Impinj's Mini-Guardrail reader antenna operates effectively at read distances of 7.5 cm or less making it a demanding antenna for item-level deployments. Ideally for applications like access control, ticketing, document control, packaging lines, the Mini-Guard. The Mini-Guardrail Antenna is perfect for a wide selection of tagging because it is virtually immune to RF blocking elements like liquids, and metallic packaging. These characteristics make the Impinj Mini-Guardrail Antenna a strong and highly popular near-field antenna. Additionally, this antenna requires 1 SMA to R-TNC cable (sold separately).

Impinj Matchbox RFID Antenna (Global)

Impinj’s MatchBox reader antenna is the ideal antenna for demanding item level applications that require reading tags at distances up to 5 cm. Typical applications include access control, ticketing, document control, high-speed encoding stations, packaging lines, and any situation that requires high reliability with a constrained read zone. The MatchBox antenna, by virtue of its optimized near-field performance, is virtually immune to the effects of liquids, powders, packaging, etc. The MatchBox antenna works for applications where standard antennas may fail, such as membership cards, blister packs, pill bottles, liquid-filled containers, and even tags floating in water. Additionally, the matchbox antenna requires 1 SMA to R-TNC cable (sold separately).

The AN670 is a low-profile RFID antenna that provides outstanding read range for tags in challenging environments. The AN670 also provides constrained near field reads to reduce the risk of stray tags.
