RFID General
RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) enab-les non-contact communication with an RFID data carrier.
In the process, digital information can either be read from the data carrier or written to it.
Kathrein develops and manufactures the required writer/reader units and antenna systems.
In general, RFID technology is grouped into three frequency ranges:
• LF-RFID: 125 kHz
• HF-RFID: 13.56 MHz
Due to many years of experience in the UHF range, Kathrein is specialized in RFID systems in the UHF range.
• UHF-RFID: 865-928 MHz

Kathrein-RFID Test Center Amerang
Since the establishment of Kathrein-RFID in Amerang, our customers can rely on a pro-fessional partner for the implementation of their projects.
Kathrein-RFID’s field of activity includes as-sistance in the design and analysis of RFID UHF-based systems.The main fields of application are industrial automation and RFID in vehicle registration systems.
RFID
As the leading manufacturer of antennas, Kathrein has been active in the field of RFID for over 25 years and possess comprehen- sive knowledge and experience in the area of UHF antennas, as well as in the process- ing and distribution of analogue and digital signals.Kathrein have applied their comprehensive know-how gained in the field of automobile and mobile communications technology for quick and efficient development of OEM- specific RFID antennas and reader solu- tions. A 3-D field simulation enables calcu- lation and optimisation of complex antenna alignments with their respective tags.
Thus, it is possible to make a precise pre- diction on the system’s capability.
Time-consuming, at times unsuccessful testing is therefore practically unnecessary, simplifying the development of customised products to a high degree.
The company features a modern trial and testing laboratory for this purpose.The laboratory is equipped with modern an-tenna measuring stations and a high-speed conveyor, enabling testing of applications that are critical in terms of time and speed.
In order to ensure customer-oriented support, on-site assistance is also provided.
Core competencies:
• Development and manufacturing of UHF antennas and reader systems• Customized UHF antenna systems• Customized stationary readers and readermodules• 3D antenna simulation• 3D transponder simulation• 3D application simulation

RFID Applications
Intra-Logistics
Kathrein offers products and solutions spe- cially designed for efficient delivery of RFID systems in the field of logistics. The very lar-ge number of transponders already in use for logistics demand very high-performance evaluation electronics, capable of recording as many as several hundred transponders quickly and reliably. For these requirements there are optimized process profiles availab-le, which allow users to quickly parameterise their entire system. Kathrein portal antennas are the world leaders in this field; they provi-de uninterrupted coverage of the field in the read range
Industrial Automation
RFID is particularly suitable for use in in- dustrial automation, to control and optimize manufacturing processes. An extension of its use into internal logistics is a further step for successful introduction of RFID sys-tems. This makes very wide demands on an RFID system. A wide variety of antenna sys-tems is available so as to achieve the desi-red read range at the various reading points. The Kathrein RFID UHF technology allows even typically varied RFID HF applications to be satisfied with only one single medium. There is no longer any need to change the transponder within the production and in- ternal logistics environment.This opens up entirely new possibilities for design and layout of automatic ID process- es, which mean the desired ROI is achieved more quickly.
RFID for AVI
RFID UHF is particularly well suited to the identification of vehicles, as its large range of up to 10 meter allows a multitude of pos- sible applications.
Due to Kathrein’s many years of experience in the field of integrated vehicle antennas, the business has the necessary know-how to make effective use of systems to identify transponders in the vehicle environment.
The ARU4 read/write device has been spe- cially developed for this application field. It provides an efficient and cost-effective solu- tion for integration of RFID technology into safety and access systems.The high protection class and the robust de- sign ensure a long working life at extremely low operating costs.

RFID for vehicle identificationRFID in logistics
Electronic Type Label
New requirements to heighten efficiency have made the application of RFID in the produc-tion of high-quality industrial products a ne-cessity. The new RFID UHF technology de-veloped by Kathrein for secure identification across the entire product life cycle allows the successful use of less expensive UHF trans-ponders for this purpose for the first time. There is no longer any need to switch from HF/barcode to UHF within the production and internal logistics environment.
The extremely small and robust design of the antennas permits quick and easy integration into the existing system. Special reader-pa-rameter sets have been created for this ap-plication; these ensure simple and effective parameterization of the readers.

RFID Software
Kathrein has now released the new “Rea-der Start v2” software for quick and efficient configuration and parameterization of Kath- rein RFID systems.A large number of optimised and tested RFID applications are pre-selected, allow- ing the RFID system to be customized and
optimized very easily for a wide variety of applications. The user is supported in mak- ing the correct choice of antennas and an- tenna configurations, so that the Kathrein RFID system is ideally suited for any task from near field to far field.
