The PATCH-26 antenna covers both EU and US RFID bands. The antenna is waterproof and easy to install. It is
circularly polarised so that it can be read in any orientation. The antenna is linearly polarised and can also be used to improve GSM coverage indoors.
The VSWR is normally less than 1.4:1, which results in a return loss of less than 20 dB. This antenna is unique in the RFID environment due to its VSWR and
gain specifications.
