Our ground antennas can be used with any UHF RFID reader, but some additional precautions should be taken when ordering.

Antenna Frequency

We produce antennas specifically according to the UHF frequency range used in your region (EU: 865-867Mhz, US: 902-928Mhz), make sure you order the correct antennas for your reader / region.

Antenna Connection 

Our antennas are normally produced with BNC connections, your system may have different connections such as TP-TNC. 
If you require antennas produced with any connection type other than BNC then these can be made for 100EUR per set. 

We do not recommend using adapters as there will be significant detection loss with these. 

Some readers expect an antenna with a 10k resistor for automatic antenna detection, this is included in our design.

Chip Orientation

Our antenna is optimized for a linearly polariszed chip, this is different from some other systems. (Our chips should be stuck vertically on bibs). You must ensure to use chips which are correctly polarized and for this reason it may not be possible to mix antennas from other systems with ours in the same event. 

DISCLAIMER

When using the RACE RESULT ground antenna with third party readers we will not guarantee the same precision or read rates as when used with a race result decoder since other readers may not use such advanced detection algorithms.
