Compact & robust

UHF read/write heads offer a higher range than LF and HF read/write systems, since the UHF technology communicates in the far field using "detached" waves and the LF/HF systems work in the near field. The range can be varied by changing the antenna design and the transmitted power.

In addition to the existing F117 UHF antenna with a range of up to 6m, Pepperl+Fuchs now offers a very compact solution – the F190 UHF – specifically tailored to applications in production technology and intralogistics, where the read distance of the LF and HF systems is not sufficient.

The UHF read/write head can be used in applications where reading multiple tags simultaneously is required, for example, to identify multiple individual products with tags in a container.
