Highlights at a Glance

• Circular polarisation ensures reliable RFID tag detection in any orientation
• Uni-directional pattern focuses radiated energy across the 860–960 MHz band
• Low VSWR typically less than 1.3:1, providing a return loss better than 20 dB
• IP65 rated for resistance against dust and water ingress
• Pole-mount design with an N-Type female connector for straightforward deployment

Performance & Signal Quality

The PATCH-25 delivers 8.8 dBic gain across its 860–960 MHz cellular frequency range, supporting both 868–915 MHz and 880–960 MHz frequency bands. Its uni-directional radiation pattern concentrates energy toward the target read zone, which is well suited to fixed RFID reader installations. The antenna's VSWR is typically less than 1.3:1, providing a return loss better than 20 dB for efficient power transfer. Circular polarisation enables consistent RFID tag reading regardless of tag orientation, reducing missed reads in dynamic tagging environments.

Design & Installation

Built with an IP65 environmental rating, the PATCH-25 is designed for deployment in exposed locations where resistance to dust and water ingress is required. The antenna uses a pole-mount configuration, allowing secure attachment to masts and support poles. An N-Type female connector provides a robust RF interface, and the specified cable type is RG-58 with zero included length, meaning integrators supply their own feedline to suit the installation distance. The off-white housing blends into many indoor and outdoor mounting environments.

Applications & Compatibility

The PATCH-25 is classified for RFID, IoT M2M, and smart-meter antenna applications. It supports LTE/4G bands B8 and B106, as well as 5G bands n8, n81, n100, and n106, providing cellular frequency coverage that overlaps its 860–960 MHz operating range. The SISO configuration and circular polarisation make it suitable for single-stream RFID reading where tag orientation varies. Its coverage of both 868–915 MHz and 880–960 MHz frequency bands supports regional RFID deployments across multiple regulatory environments.
