The UHF read/write head F190 is an excellent example of how to implement complex physical processes and turn them into practice-oriented RFID technology. It has an integrated antenna with switchable polarization, so you can adjust the UHF read/write head for a specific application without changing the hardware. Linear vertical/horizontal and circular polarization are possible. This versatility allows for a wide variety of applications while reducing installation costs.


Linear vertical/horizontal polarization

Linear polarization is ideal for applications where the RFID tag orientation is known. You can fine tune the adjustment of the antenna polarization to the tag and reduce the power level. You can also use polarization to separate tags that are close to each other, but with a different orientation. This increases the read rate of the UHF read/write head and reduces the interference of surrounding processes.

Circular polarization

For applications where the orientation of the tag is unknown or varies, circular polarization is the best choice, because reliable detection is independent of tag orientation. An example of this is applications in which you are identifying unsorted cargo or where the spatial position of the tag can change.

Highest flexibility for mid-range applications

Global companies benefit from the capabilities of the UHF read/write head. The F190 series is available in the corresponding frequency ranges for Europe, Asia, and America, and allows for flexible integration in production and logistics processes regardless of location.
