UHF Band RFID Beam Variable Antenna for Museums and Art Galleries
Improving the accuracy of display item management! Reducing RFID tag misreads with beam control.
In the management of exhibition items in museums and art galleries, it is essential to understand the condition of valuable collections and maintain accurate inventory management. Particularly in spaces where numerous exhibits are densely packed, it is crucial to identify the reading range of RFID tags and prevent unintended misreads of tags. This leads to improved verification of the location of exhibits, efficiency in the lending and return processes, and contributes to theft prevention measures. Our UHF band RFID beam-variable antenna addresses these challenges by electronically controlling the radiation direction, narrowing the detection area, and reducing misreads. 【Usage Scenarios】 - Tag reading for specific exhibits within display cases - Locating exhibits in storage - Accurate verification at gates during lending and returns 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Increased efficiency in exhibit management tasks - Reduction of operational errors due to misreads - Improved accuracy in confirming the location of exhibits
basic information
【Features】 ■ Active phased array antenna that electronically controls the beam direction ■ Variable radiation direction of radio waves in three directions based on external input signals ■ Controllable from the GPIO port of the reader ■ Scanning the beam direction to estimate the approximate position of tags ■ Expected reduction in misreads through a combination of switching radiation areas and software processing 【Our Strengths】 Since its establishment 40 years ago, Mineko Electronics Co., Ltd. has been developing its business based on antenna and connector technology. In addition to standard antennas boasting stable performance backed by years of technology, we also engage in contract design, manufacturing, and sales of antennas for various communication devices. We provide optimal antenna solutions tailored to customer needs, delivering top-class antenna solutions with high technology and reliability.

What is an anechoic chamber? Is it really necessary?
An anechoic chamber is a "special room" used to test the performance and safety of wireless devices. In a regular room, invisible waves from smartphones, Wi-Fi, and televisions are present, making it impossible to conduct accurate tests on devices. Therefore, an anechoic chamber is a special space that "completely shuts out external waves" and also ensures that "waves inside do not leak outside." When is it used? - Testing and inspection of wireless devices - Testing for obtaining technical standard conformity certification (Giteki) - Confirming that there is no interference from waves to other devices In other words, it is "an essential place for creating accurate and reliable wireless devices." What is the inside of the room like? - The walls, ceiling, and floor are covered with "sponge-like materials that absorb waves (wave-absorbing panels)." - The entire room is covered with a metal shield to prevent external waves from entering. Why is it so important? Wireless devices can significantly impact medical equipment, airplanes, and fire department radios, depending on where they are used. That is why it is crucial to thoroughly verify that they emit waves correctly and safely in a place free from external influences, which is the anechoic chamber.

What is Technical Standards Compliance Certification (Giteki)?
"Technical Standards Conformity Certification," commonly known as "Giteki," refers to the "government approval" necessary for safely using wireless devices (such as smartphones, Wi-Fi routers, transceivers, etc.) in Japan without affecting other communications. To put it simply... For example, products that use wireless technology emit "radio waves." If these radio waves are too strong or the frequency is incorrect, there is a risk of adversely affecting devices like televisions or emergency radios. Therefore, in Japan, only products that have been certified to comply with regulations regarding radio wave emissions can be used, and this certification is indicated by the Giteki mark. ■ Where can you find the Giteki mark? The Giteki mark can be displayed on the product itself or in the settings screen, and products with this mark are legally usable wireless devices in Japan. ■ What happens if you use a product without Giteki? Using devices that have not received Giteki certification in Japan may result in a violation of the Radio Law. For instance, smartphones or transceivers purchased overseas often lack the Giteki mark, and using them in Japan can be illegal, so caution is advised.

[New Product] UHF Band RFID Beam Variable Antenna [Expected to Reduce Misreads with Detection Area Control]
We have released an active phased array antenna that can vary the beam radiation direction in three directions based on external signals. By switching the radiation area, it is possible to respond only to specific areas. This allows it to be utilized as an RFID gate with fewer misreads. When used as a shoplifting prevention gate, it can be set up so that customers with RFID tags approaching the gate do not trigger an alert, thereby reducing stress caused by misidentification.
