Installation manual antennas 11Modications, misprints and errors exceptedEnglish3. Product description3.1. Low range antennasThe low range antennas are a highlight of the new antenna series. With dimensions of 90 x 63 mm, these antennas have a high eld concentration in the near-eld, with signicantly reduced antenna gain in the far-eld. With these properties, the antennas achieve outstanding writing/reading performence at ranges of up to 10 cm with a typical selectivity of 5 cm. Low range antennas are available in LoRa (Low Range) and ULoRa (Ultra Low Range). The ULoRa was designed to read dipole-shaped tags (“far-eld tags” at an extremely limited distance.These antennas can also read loopshaped tags (“near-eld tags”) up to 3 cm. The LoRa was developed forlarger ranges and is particularly suited to near- eld tags.3.2. Mid range antennasThe MiRa 100° was developed for applications in the area between near eld and far- eld. Particular importancewas placed on creating a compact construction to enable integration into environments with limited space. Readranges of over 2 m are still possible even with dimensions of 156 x 126 mm. MiRa also offers increased selectivity atlower reading distances compared with conventional antennas. This antenna design is therefore also suitable for use in the so-called transition area with a variety of transponder typesFor short range to offer the S-MiRa antenna that is optimized with the same basic Paramenter for angle and trans-mission level as our standard mid range antenna, small reading range to 1.0 m.Figure 1: Low range antenna Figure 2: Ultra-Low range antennaFigure 4: Mid range antennaFigure 3: Short-Mid range antennaThe SMSH 30-30-KRAI slave antenna was developed for applications in the eld of point of sale, smart shelf ap-plications and Kanban solutions. The antenna is characterized by an extremely homogeneous read zone, which is emitted by the high front to back ratio. Therefore it is suitable for static detection of multiple transponders. Due to their extremely thin design, the antenna module can be integrated into different applications universal.The antenna is equipped with an intelligent bypass circuit that allows for cascading up to 8 SMSH modules per reader port. The control is done by a suitable © KRAI Kathrein RFID reader, the © KRAI control signals are trans-mitted via the standard antenna cable3.3.

Wide Range antennasFor the standard wide range applications with read ranges up above 10 m Kathrein offers wide range antenna types, which are characterized by a beam width of 70° (WiRa 70), 40° (WiRa 40) and 30° (WiRa 30) and a cir-cular or linear polarizationantenna typ Order number Öffnungswinkel Polarisation FrequenzbereichWiRa 30 ETSI 52010086 30° circular 865 – 868 MHzWiRa 30 FCC 52010087 30° circular 902 - 928 MHzWiRa 30 - linear ETSI 52010248 30° linear 865 – 868 MHzWiRa 30 - linear FCC 52010249 30° linear 902 - 928 MHzWiRa 40 - linear ETSI 52010251 40° linear 865 – 868 MHzWiRa 40 - linear FCC 52010252 40° linear 902 - 928 MHzWiRa 70 ETSI 52010078 70° circular 865 – 868 MHzWiRa 70 FCC 52010079 70° circular 902 - 928 MHzFor standard UHF applications a circular polarization is used, when the orientation of the transponders is not known, or may occur a randomly. This circular polarization was signicantly improved in comparison to the an-tennas available on the market. For the so-called axial ratio, which is used as a characteristic value for circular polarization, the two new models achieve typical values of 1 dB. If speci ed at all, the usual value on the market lies at around 3 dB. The improved circularity of the Kathrein wide range antennas leads to a signicantly reduced inuence of the read results caused by the position or orientation of the transponder.Linearly polarized antennas are used for UHF applications, if the orientation of the transponder is xed and well dened. In this case, the lower polarization loss of linear antennas will lead to bigger read range.Great importance was also placed on the front-to-back ratio of the antennas to reduce the inuence of the adjacent (installation) environment on the antenna properties. All antennas have an extremely high protection class which guarantees problem-free use in any environment.The use of high-quality materials for a long service life and high levels of reliability contribute to the optimal perfor-mance provided by the antennas under even the most challenging of conditions.Figure 6: Wide Range 70° antenna Figure 8: Wide Range 30° antennaFigure 7: Wide Range 40° antenna

Product description3.5.3. © KRAI CSB (Circular Switch Beam-) antennaWith the ©KRAI CSB-Antenna, build as a WiRa 30° antenna, the antenna beam can be switched static or dynami-cally. The following settings are possible in any combination:- Antenna beam initial position (radiation 90°of the Antenna)- Antenna beam switched 35° to the left - Antenna beam switched 35° to the right The orientation of switching is in the longitudinal direction of the antenna. On the connector side of the antenna the position “RIGHT” is dened.These CSB antennas are used to detect the movement of the transponder. This information will be transferred in combination with the collected transponder is. With 5 antenna sweeps per second, two or more reads are used to determine the direction of movement.Figure 11: Wide Range © KRAI CSB 30° antennaPlease note that the Beam „R“ is assigned (right) getting the connection side.NoteAntenna type Read range Tag typeLoop-shaped Hybrid Dipole-formLoRaULoRa 0-10 cmSMiRa,SMSH0-10 cm10-100cmMiRa0-30 cm30-100 cm> 100 cmWiRa 70°,WiRa 40,WiRa 30° linear,WiRa-30-CSB-KRAI0-30 cm30-200 cm> 200 cm3.6. Antenna type according to read range and transponder shape
Installation manual antennas 15Modications, misprints and errors exceptedEnglish3. Product descriptionThe correct combination of reader antenna and transponder is essential for every RFID application. The correct selection ensures a high read rate and reliable operation of the system. The LoRa and ULoRa antennas can read loop-shaped, hybrid-form and dipole-form transponders up to 10 cm and offer a very well de ned read range.The Smart shelf and SMIRA read the hybrid transponders at distances up to 10cm and the dipole type transponders at distances up to 100cm.MiRa can read loop-shaped transponders up to 30 cm, hybrid-form transponders up to 100 cm and dipole-form transponders up to several metres. The WiRa antennas ans WiRa-30-CSB-KRAI antennas are designed for typical dipole-form transponders with read ranges of up to 10 m, but they can also read loop-shaped and hybrid-form transponders at a short distance.The typical read ranges of the antennas described can be seen in the following gure. If WiRa 30° and WiRa 70° are operated with the same ERP, the maximum ranges of the two antennas are equal, although the WiRa 30° has a higher selectivity.
Installation manual antennas 16Modications, misprints and errors exceptedEnglishNoteTo achieve the best reading and writing results, we recommend operating the Kathrein UHF RFID reader an-tennas exclusively with UHF readers from Kathrein.As a further option, it is possible to integrate the modular Kathrein RFID UHF reader latform in the WIRA antennas to also provide a powerful single read point for certain applications. As a result of the consistent continuation of the platform strategy for antenna and reader, all product and interface variants already introduced are available in nu-merous combinations. Cost-ef cient adaptation to varying customer requirements is therefore possible as a result. For all variants protection class IP 67 and an operating temperature range from -20 to +55 °C apply. A TNC socket is used as the antenna interface on all types.3. Product descriptionFor maximum range there must not be any interfering objects between the antenna and the tag to be read.Note3.7.

Installation manual antennas 38Modications, misprints and errors exceptedEnglish5. InstallationThe MiRa and WiRa antennas are relatively insensitive to the type of attachment and the materials surrounding the antennas. Nevertheless few conductive objects in the vicinity of the antenna should be presented. In addition, other objects, such as containers with liquids in the vicinity of the antenna affect their functionality. In such cases, a reassessment of the antenna in the particular installation conditions is necessary. The LoRa antennas are very robust and suitable for installation in metallic environment.• The cable should be laid vertical (see Figure 13) away from the antenna and should be laid direct. The cable length is to be selected as short as possible to minimise cable losses.• Cable loops around the antenna, as shown in Figure 12, or laying the cable in front of the antenna are to be avoided.X5.2.
