M/A-COM (Tyco Electronics) has launched a line of ruggedized RFID antennas for use in baler and compactor applications. The MAAN-000210-AT0000 antennas provide typical gain of 2.5 dB with a 3-dB beamwidth of 130 deg. and typical VSWR of 1.50:1. The RFID ...

M/A-COM (Tyco Electronics) has launched a line of ruggedized RFID antennas for use in baler and compactor applications. The MAAN-000210-AT0000 antennas provide typical gain of 2.5 dB with a 3-dB beamwidth of 130 deg. and typical VSWR of 1.50:1. The RFID antennas feature multidirectional conduit access holes and a removable connector access panel for more efficient installation. The connector housing is removable for use in National Electrical Manufacturer's Assocation (NEMA) enclosures.
