Motorola AN480 Antenna RFID antenna di rete antenna direzionale Tipo N 6 dBi

The Motorola AN480 RFID Antenna is a single‑port directional antenna with 6 dBi gain, designed for reliable RFID signal transmission in industrial and enterprise environments. It supports the 865–868 MHz frequency band, uses a 50 Ω impedance with an N‑type connector, and combines compact dimensions with environmental sealing for both indoor and outdoor installations.

Advantages

The AN480 delivers a focused radiation pattern and a low axial ratio for more uniform gain and improved read performance. Its directional characteristics and 65° horizontal beamwidth help concentrate energy toward target zones, while the N‑type connector and 50 Ω impedance provide compatibility with standard RFID readers. The antenna is certified to RoHS and UL standards and is built for mounting across diverse locations such as manufacturing floors, warehouse aisles, docks and outdoor yards.

How to use

Mount the AN480 antenna in the intended location with appropriate brackets or supports, orienting the antenna so its main lobe points toward the reading zone. Connect the N‑type connector to the RFID reader or coaxial cable assembly ensuring secure, weather‑proof connections for outdoor installations. Adjust antenna height and angle to optimize coverage and minimize interference from nearby structures or metal surfaces.

Recommendations

For consistent read performance, place antennas to minimize tag shadowing and allow sufficient separation between multiple antennas to reduce mutual coupling. Use weatherproof cable glands and corrosion‑resistant fittings for outdoor deployments, and verify system performance after installation with site acceptance testing.
