## Description

The PATCH-26 antenna covers both EU and USA RFID bands. The antenna has been designed to be water resistant and is easy to install. It is circularly polarised for reading in any orientation. The antenna is linearly polarised and can also be used to improve indoor GSM coverage. VSWR is typically less than 1.4:1, giving a return loss better than 20dB. This antenna is unique in the RFID environment because of its VSWR & gain specifications.
