Product Overview
RFIDSU's UHF RFID Mat Floor Antenna series is specifically engineered for marathon race timing and sports event applications. The complete Mat Floor Antenna features a 2000×300mm rubber mat form factor with integrated 7dBi linear polarization antenna, designed for precise participant detection at start and finish lines. Its wide 73° horizontal beam coverage ensures accurate timing across the entire race width, capturing every runner's RFID tag as they cross the mat.
For timing system integrators and event organizers, the Antenna Module for Mat offers the same 7dBi performance in a compact 234×140mm package. This embedded module can be integrated into custom timing mats or existing race infrastructure, providing flexibility for marathon organizers, triathlon events, and track & field competitions requiring reliable chip timing solutions.
Both solutions support EU (865-868MHz) and US (902-928MHz) frequency bands with ISO18000-6C/EPC Gen2 protocol compatibility. The low VSWR (≤1.5) design maximizes power efficiency and read range performance, ensuring consistent tag detection even at high speeds — critical for accurate race timing where every second counts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Mat Floor Antenna and Antenna Module?
The Mat Floor Antenna is a complete ready-to-deploy rubber mat solution (2000×300mm) ideal for doorways and entry points. The Antenna Module is a compact component (234×140mm) designed for integration into custom flooring or existing mat systems by integrators.
What frequency should I choose for my region?
Choose 865-868MHz for EU/Asia deployments and 902-928MHz for US/Canada. Both antennas support either frequency band — simply specify your requirement when ordering. Other regional frequencies are available on request.
What RFID reader should I pair with these antennas?
These antennas are compatible with any standard UHF RFID reader supporting ISO18000-6C/EPC Gen2 protocol via SMA connection. The Mat Floor Antenna has 4 SMA-Female connectors for multi-port readers, while the Module has a single SMA-Male connector.
Can the mat withstand heavy foot traffic?
Yes, the rubber construction is designed for continuous foot traffic in commercial environments. The flat 10mm profile ensures safe passage without tripping hazards, making it suitable for high-traffic entry points.
What is included in the packing list?
Each product comes with the antenna unit (complete mat or embedded module) and mounting accessories. The Mat Floor Antenna includes a 350×350×320mm carton packaging suitable for international shipping.
