MoreWhich RFID tags are most compatible with 860-960MHz UHF reader modules?
UHF RFID reader modules (e.g., CK-M8 UHF Module) operating in the 860-960MHz range require tags optimized for frequency, material, and environmental conditions. Below are the top tag types and best practices for compatibility:
1. EPC Gen2v2 (ISO 18000-63) Tags**
- Why They Work: Designed specifically for global UHF RFID systems, these tags support high-speed, high-volume scanning.
- Best For: Logistics, retail inventory, and pallet tracking.
- Examples:
- Inlays: Flexible paper/PET tags for carton labeling (read range: 6–8m).
- Anti-Metal Tags: Foam-backed tags for metal surfaces (read range: 4–6m).
2. High-Performance Tags for Challenging Environments**
- Metal Surfaces: Use ferrite-loaded tags (e.g., RFID Metal Tag) to prevent signal reflection.
- Liquid Containers: Opt for near-field UHF tags with shorter read ranges (10–50cm) to avoid absorption.
3. Regional Frequency Optimization**
- FCC (North America): Tags tuned to 902-928MHz (e.g., FCC Tag) maximize performance with RM-45 modules in the U.S.
- ETSI (EU): Tags operating at 865-868MHz (e.g., ETSI Tag) comply with European regulations.
4. Key Compatibility Factors**
- Chip Sensitivity: Tags with high sensitivity chips (-18dBm or better) work best with low-power reader modules.
- Antenna Design: Dual-dipole tags ensure omnidirectional readability in dynamic environments.
5. Testing & Validation**
- Use a UHF RFID tester to measure tag sensitivity and read range with your reader module.
- Test tags on actual materials (wood, metal, plastic) to avoid real-world surprises.
Pro Tip: For mixed environments, deploy hybrid RFID tags that combine UHF and NFC capabilities.
