Technical Overview

How RLM-16P supports dense 16-port UHF RFID reader systems

RLM-16P is built for OEM RFID reader designs that require dense antenna coverage in one industrial reader architecture. The module provides 16 antenna ports, a 15 PIN FPC host connector, regional UHF band support, and adjustable RF output for controlled integration.

With 33dBm maximum RF output, -83dBm sensitivity, and inter-port isolation above 60dB, RLM-16P is suited to dense cabinet layouts, multi-zone read tunnels, industrial asset tracking stations, and automation equipment with many antenna positions.

The module supports high-speed tag reading above 500 reads per second, RSSI data, and tag data filtering. For system integrators, it reduces the hardware complexity of building large antenna arrays around industrial RFID systems.

Core Features

Engineering features for OEM RFID module integration

RLM-16P focuses on stable RF output, compact host integration, and practical multi-antenna deployment for industrial RFID hardware manufacturers.

Compact Module Design

RLM-16P uses a 178.0mm x 89.5mm x 8.1mm board format for embedded RFID reader hardware, smart cabinets, and OEM device integration.

Inter-Port Isolation

Specified >60dB (Inter-port) isolation helps multi-antenna reader layouts reduce channel interaction during deployment.

Regional UHF Frequency Support

Frequency configurations cover FCC, ETSI, and SRRC-MII UHF RFID deployment regions according to the supplied specification.

Adjustable RF Output

33dBm maximum RF output with 1dB stepping gives engineers practical control during RF tuning and antenna matching.

High-Speed Tag Reading

Read speed above 500 times per second supports warehouse automation, production line verification, and multi-tag RFID asset tracking.

SMA-K RF Port

SMA-K antenna connectors provide a familiar RF interface for industrial reader design and antenna cable routing.

15 PIN FPC Host Connector

The 15 PIN FPC connector supports compact host-board integration in OEM RFID reader products.

RSSI and Tag Filtering

RSSI data and tag data filtering help integrators improve application-level control in industrial RFID automation systems.
