Harting has developed an RFID antenna which can be used in identification systems in an industrial environment. The sMR20 RFID antenna provides defined read ranges as low as one metre, which allows items in close proximity to one another can be easily recognised and correctly assigned. The antenna operates over a wavelength range from 865MHz to 928MHz, and offers a degree of protection to ...
