UHF Human Body Badge
UHF Human Body Badge | On-Body UHF RFID Badge for Personnel Identification
Reliable UHF performance when worn close to the human body.
Realsmart's UHF Human Body Badge is designed for personnel identification applications where conventional UHF cards may experience reduced performance when placed close to the body.
Its antenna design is optimized to reduce the RF detuning and attenuation caused by proximity to the human body, providing a practical read range of up to 2 meters, depending on the reader, antenna configuration and operating environment.
The badge is suitable for personnel identification, hands-free access applications, time and attendance, event management and other applications requiring automatic UHF identification.
Custom printing, encoding and variable data personalization are available.
Overview: UHF Badge Optimized for On-Body Performance
The UHF Human Body Badge is a passive UHF RFID credential specifically designed for use when worn close to the human body.
Human body proximity can significantly affect the performance of conventional UHF RFID antennas. The antenna structure of this badge is optimized for more stable on-body RF performance, enabling personnel to be identified automatically as they enter a configured reader zone.
With a read range of up to 2 meters, the badge is suitable for applications such as personnel identification, attendance management and hands-free access control.
