Impinj Mini Guardrail RFID Antenna

Impinj Mini Guardrail RFID Antenna

Specification Overview: Near field Antenna, Polarization - Linear, Requires Partner program authorization. Cable - Without cable, frequency 865-868 MHz.

Impinj's Mini-Guardrail RFID reader antenna has been designed for demanding item-level deployments. This Mini-Guardrail RFID antenna is the ideal choice for access control, ticketing, document control, high-speed encoding stations, packaging lines, or any application requiring high reliability and a constrained read zone.

Because of its optimized short-range performance, the Mini-Guardrail RFID antenna is virtually immune to the RF transmission-limiting effects of items such as liquids, powders, and metallic packaging.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Impinj Mini-Guardrail RFID Antenna used for?

It is ideal for item-level tracking, access control, ticketing, document handling, packaging lines, and high-speed encoding where a short-range, focused read zone is needed.

What type of read zone does this antenna provide?

The Mini-Guardrail provides a constrained, near-field read zone, making it perfect for tightly controlled RFID environments.

Does this antenna work well near metal or liquids?

Yes, its optimized short-range performance makes it highly tolerant of interference from metal and liquids.

What is the antenna’s frequency range?

It operates in the 865–868 MHz ETSI band, suitable for RFID deployments in Europe and regions following ETSI standards.

What is the antenna's polarization?

The antenna features linear polarization, allowing consistent tag reading when tag orientation is fixed.

Is a cable included with the antenna?

No, the antenna does not include a cable and requires a compatible SMA male cable to connect to an RFID reader.

What type of connector does it use?

The antenna uses an SMA female connector, which is common for most UHF RFID setups.
