New KYOCERA Ceramic RFID Package with Embedded Antenna Increases Read Range Up to 2X

Kyocera Corporation announced that it has developed an ultra-small ceramic package utilizing a proprietary multilayer structure with a built-in RFID 1 antenna that can increase the read range up to 2X as compared with conventional packages of the same size. Starting mass production in May 2017, the product will be available worldwide in three sizes (from 6x3x1.7mm to 15x5x1.7mm), with an annual sales target of JPY 3 billion by 2020.

Kyocera’s proprietary technologies cultivated over many years in advanced ceramic materials and multilayer structures ensure a compact package with outstanding performance. The new ceramic package with a RFID antenna will help meet rising demand for RFID tags to support Internet of Things (IoT) applications.


The packages are available in six base configurations — three different sizes for both the UHF and HF (for ultra-short-distance communication) bands. To meet diverse customer demands, Kyocera offers built-in IC chip arrangement and device assembly, providing RFID tags as finished products, in addition to providing ceramic packages and customized designs upon request.
