RFID READER ANTENNAS


Seavey Engineering manufactures large quantities of antennas for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems. These systems consist of a set of "readers" and "tags". Frequencies are in the license-free bands around 900, 2,440, and 5730 MHz.

RFID systems are used for many purposes such as electronic toll collection, wireless transactions at rent-a-car agencies and gasoline pumps, store and factory inventory control and 3D position location.

Reader antennas range from very low-cost patch and dipole elements integrated into the reader electronics package to patch arrays located in NEMA enclosures above toll booths.
