- Reflection Protection Uninterrupted performance
- When metal and metallic objects are present, reflective power may pass directly through the antenna to the RFID reader. When most readers detect this reflected power, they reduce power or shut down completely in order to protect themselves. This reduces or ceases, the read range and performance. But advanced A5010 circuitry absorbs reflected power within the antenna, shielding the RFID reader, so it has no need to shut down. And while the VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) of most other antennas is highly degraded by reflective environments, the A5010’s reflection protection provides consistently good VSWR.
- extremely low axial ratio
- The axial ratio measures the symmetry of the beam in the horizontal and vertical directions. This axial ratio is a critical parameter for a circular antenna, which is expected to read an RFID tag in any presented orientation. An axial ratio of zero 0dB is perfect. The A5010 has less than a 1dB difference in gain in both axis - essentially the same performance as a truly circular polarisation.
