9 dBi Circular Polarized Outdoor UHF RFID Antenna, IP67: overview
The AN-110 is a 9 dBi circularly polarized reader antenna for outdoor and long-range UHF RFID installations: vehicle access lanes, parking barriers, dock doors and yard checkpoints. It connects to any fixed reader or reader module with a 50 Ω antenna port and, depending on reader output and tag type, reads at 6–20 m.
Circular polarization lets the antenna pick up windshield tags, pallet labels and badges no matter how they are rotated relative to the panel, which matters at gates where every vehicle carries its tag at a slightly different angle. A 70° horizontal by 63° vertical beam and a front-to-back ratio of at least 23 dB keep the read zone pointed down the lane rather than behind the mast.
The housing combines an aluminum-alloy reflector with an ABS radome, sealed by a gasket plus a silicone seal to IP67. It is rated for –40 to +80 °C and 60 m/s wind, so it can stay on an exposed pole year-round. VSWR is 1.3 or better and the antenna accepts up to 100 W.
Integration notes
The RF connector is an N-female jack on the back plate; use 50 Ω coax with an N-male plug and keep the run as short as the site allows, since cable loss comes straight off your read range. Pole mounting suits masts of 40–75 mm diameter, and lightning protection is by DC grounding, so bond the pole to earth. The antenna is built in two tunings, listed at 840 MHz and 940 MHz nominal with 100 MHz bandwidth: AN-110-EU is the version for 865–868 MHz (ETSI) readers and AN-110-US the version for 902–928 MHz (FCC) readers. State your reader band on the RFQ and we confirm the match before dispatch.

Where the AN-110 is used
- Pole-mounted at a parking or gated-community lane to read windshield tags before the barrier lifts
- Dock-door portals with two to four antennas on a multi-port fixed reader
- Yard, container-area and customs checkpoints exposed to rain, dust and wind
- Construction-site personnel gates logging UHF badges as workers walk through

AN-110 FAQ
Which frequency version do I need?
Order AN-110-EU for readers running 865–868 MHz (ETSI regions) and AN-110-US for 902–928 MHz (FCC regions). The datasheet lists these tunings as 840 MHz and 940 MHz nominal with 100 MHz bandwidth; tell us your reader's band and we confirm the match before dispatch.
What read range will I get?
The specification quotes 6–20 m. Where you land in that range depends on reader output power, cable loss, the tag model and the surface the tag is mounted on.
Can it be installed outdoors on a pole?
Yes. It is sealed to IP67, rated –40 to +80 °C and 60 m/s wind, and mounts on masts of 40–75 mm diameter. Lightning protection is by DC grounding, so earth the mast.
What cable does it need?
The antenna has an N-female connector and 50 Ω impedance. Use 50 Ω coax with an N-male plug at the antenna end and the connector your reader port requires at the other, and keep the run short to limit loss.
Why choose circular rather than linear polarization?
A circular antenna reads tags whatever their rotation, which suits vehicles and mixed cargo. The trade-off is roughly 3 dB less effective gain on a single fixed-orientation tag compared with a linear antenna of the same rating.
