About this Document
The SkyeModule M1 is designed for low power RFID applications that require less than 4 inches of read
range when using the internal antenna of the M1. Alternatively, the M1 can directly drive an
external antenna to provide up to 10 inches of read range. For applications that require more than 10
inches of read range, a power amplifier can be used to drive an external antenna.
The SkyeModule M1 comes with an integrated internal antenna. The M1 will also work with standard
external antenna modules, such as the SkyeRead EA1. However, many customers will need to
design custom external antennas to best fit their specific application requirements.
SkyeTek and its partners also provide custom RFID antenna design services.
