RFID Antennas: The Unsung Hero - All About RFID - Episode 6

You’ve heard about tags and readers – but what about RFID antennas? In this episode of All About RFID, Kyle Stanford shines a spotlight on one of the most overlooked components of RFID systems: the RFID antenna. RFID antennas control the energy flow between readers and tags, and they have a huge impact on read performance. Kyle walks through key differences like linear vs. circular polarization, antenna gain, and why antenna cables matter way more than you think.

• Wondering why your RFID system misses so many reads?
• Not sure if you need a near-field or phased array antenna?
• Curious about how tag orientation affects your antenna choice?

This is the RFID antenna 101 you didn’t know you needed. Kyle shares practical advice from real deployments to help you avoid common pitfalls and make your RFID setup rock solid. Tune in to learn:

• What RFID antennas actually do
• How to pair the right antenna with the right use case
• Common mistakes and how to avoid them
