NeWave Antenna

NeWave has developed a patent pending wave antenna that is uniquely designed for superior RFID performance and provides a unique UHF zone based coverage that finally brings a cost effective high performing item-level sensor solution to the RFID marketplace.

The NeWave antenna embodies a radically new concept in RFID antenna design. Unlike a patch antenna that radiates a single beam in a given direction, the NeWave antenna is designed to uniformly illuminate a volume of space. When installed in pairs the antennas complement each other and provide spatial and polarization diversity throughout the volume. Our antennas are unique in covering all three tag orientations within a user defined zone up to 10x10x10 foot zone.

Key Features and Benefits of the Wave™ Antenna

Superior Accuracy

• RFID implementations can achieve 99.9% read rates for stationary tags ,e.g., shelf inventory or RTLS applications.
• Polarization diversity. Our antennas are designed to cover all polarizations in the covered zone. We cover all three polarizations at once.

Highly Versatile

• Low profile-easy to integrate and install, e.g., walls, portals, ceilings, etc.
• NeWave antennas can be used on retail and warehouse shelves, open areas and/or warehouse doorways (portals), and integrated into lift trucks and transporting vehicles.

Optimal Efficiency

• As many as sixteen antennas can run off a single reader for cost optimization.
• The NeWave antenna works well with all Gen 2 UHF readers in an open architecture design. Users are free to choose any Gen2 reader.
• Specifically designed to work in high fade and multipath environments to provide superior UHF zone coverage.
