RFID Reader Antennas
AN480 RFID Antenna
The AN480 is a wide-band, general-purpose UHF RFID antenna designed for global use. It delivers stable, high-performance RFID reads across a broad frequency range, making it suitable for warehouses, docks, doorways, and indoor/outdoor logistics environments.
The AN480 RFID Antenna is built to be a versatile, all-purpose antenna that supports worldwide RFID deployments. Its global-frequency compatibility and circular-polarization options (left- or right-hand) allow flexible installation in different regions and tag-orientation scenarios.
Its compact, square design (approx. 259 × 259 mm) makes it easy to mount on walls or ceilings, creating consistent read zones around key areas such as doorways, dock gates, portal entries, conveyor chutes, or warehouse shelving. The antenna’s design focuses on uniform signal gain — thanks to a low axial ratio — which improves read reliability even in challenging environments where objects or tags may be oriented unpredictably.
With IP-rated weather/dust/water protection and temperature tolerance suitable for industrial and outdoor use, the AN480 works well in both indoor warehouses and semi-exposed dock or outdoor zones. Its robust build and global bandwidth support make it a dependable choice for logistics, inventory tracking, shipping/receiving portals, and broad-area RFID coverage needs.
