UHF Card Inlay (860–960 MHz) Types
1UHF inlay specifications
Operating frequency 860-960MHz (region-tunable). Protocol ISO/IEC 18000-63 / EPC Class 1 Gen 2. Chips NXP UCODE 8/9, Impinj Monza R6/M730. Materials PVC, PETG, PC; white or transparent. Layouts 1-5, 2-5, 3-6, 3-7, 3-8, 3-10, 4-10 up to 640-520 mm. Antenna geometry designed and tuned per chip for target read distance.
2Why buyers combine UHF with LF or HF
A common request is one card that opens a door with LF or HF at the reader and lifts a parking barrier with UHF at range. Our antenna design positions the UHF dipole and the LF/HF coil so the two do not interfere, letting a single card serve physical access and parking. Testing a sample with your exact chip combination is recommended before a full batch.
3What a UHF inlay sheet actually looks like
A UHF inlay is a printed or etched dipole, not a coil, so the sheet looks nothing like an HF or LF layout. The dipole geometry is designed around the specific chip — UCODE 8/9 and Monza R6/M730 do not want the same antenna — and that is what sets read distance.
Because a dipole is long and thin, the layouts differ too: 1×5, 2×5, 3×6, 3×7, 3×8, 3×10 and 4×10 up to 640×520 mm. Tell us your card size and we will lay the dipoles out so the punch never crosses an antenna arm.
4From PVC sheet to tested prelam — six stages
UHF inlays run the same line as HF and LF, with the antenna step swapped for dipole placement. The QC gates and the 100% electrical test are identical.
5Read range is verified, not assumed
UHF is the frequency where a small antenna change moves read distance a long way, so we measure rather than trust the drawing.
| What is checked | Instrument | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Chip response and read/write | Multi-chip test platform with reader and terminal | 100% of units |
| Antenna resonance frequency | Bode 100 vector network analyser | Setup + in-process |
| Inlay thickness | Digital height gauge | Per sheet lot |
| Chip-to-antenna bond strength | Push-force instrument | Per shift |
| Bond joint condition | Stereo microscope | Per shift |
| Substrate identity and density | Precision density balance | Incoming material (IQC) |
| Ageing and lamination survival | Constant temperature and humidity chamber | Qualification + periodic |
For combi builds — a UHF dipole plus an LF or HF coil in the same card — each frequency is tested separately on every unit. Sample first with your exact chip pairing and your own readers before committing to a batch.
