Overview
What the RUCA9 9 dBi circular UHF RFID antenna does
The IDTS-RUCA9 is an external UHF RFID antenna for fixed readers. Its 9 dBi gain and 70° × 60° beam cover a broad zone while still reaching a long way: the rated range is up to 25 m with an Identium UHF 4-port reader. That balance suits entry points where tags arrive from different directions, such as gates, dock doors and parking lanes.
Right-hand circular polarization reads tags at varying orientations, so cartons, windshield tags and asset tags do not all need to face the antenna the same way.
WPC approved for Indian installations
The RUCA9 is WPC approved and is specified for 865–868 MHz, India's licence-exempt UHF RFID band. Where a tender or site audit asks for ETA documents on RF equipment, it can be specified together with a reader that also holds an ETA. Our WPC ETA and BIS compliance checklist explains what to ask for. Other frequency ranges are available on request for export projects.
Choosing 9 dBi over other gains
Antenna gain trades width for distance. The 9 dBi beam suits a dock door or a gate where tags pass through a broad opening. A 12 dBi panel narrows the beam for long single lanes, while low-gain or near-field antennas are better for counters and shelves where reads must stay close.
Outdoor-ready build
An industrial-grade ABS body over an aluminium reflector is sealed to IP67 and rated for −40 °C to +65 °C and wind up to 60 m/s. DC-ground lightning protection and a 50 W input rating suit pole and wall mounting outdoors. The antenna weighs 1.0 kg, measures 260 × 260 × 42 mm and comes with a mounting bracket.

Frequently asked questions
What is the read range of the RUCA9?
Up to 25 m with an Identium UHF 4-port reader. Actual range depends on the tag, reader power and surroundings, so test on site before finalising mounting positions.
Does the RUCA9 have WPC approval?
Yes. The IDTS-RUCA9 is WPC approved and is specified for India's 865–868 MHz UHF RFID band.
Can it be installed outdoors?
Yes. It is IP67 rated with an ABS body and aluminium reflector, works from −40 °C to +65 °C, has a rated wind velocity of 60 m/s and DC-ground lightning protection. A mounting bracket is included.
Which connector and cable does it need?
The antenna has a 50 Ω N female connector. Use a 50 Ω low-loss coaxial cable with an N male plug at the antenna end and the connector your reader port needs at the other end. Keep the run short to limit signal loss.
Can I order several antennas for a project?
Yes. Add the quantity you need to your quote list. We also supply the readers and tags, so the full gate or warehouse set-up can be quoted together.
