Product details
Overview
TRPGP40TGC from Texas Instruments is a low-frequency (134.2 kHz) RFID gate antenna designed for industrial LF transponder interrogation systems. It delivers 27 µH inductance, IP65 ingress protection, and operates from –25°C to +70°C with a 1-m coaxial cable and spade/tongue terminals. It enables long-range read zones in vehicle identification and container tracking applications when paired with TI-compatible reader/writers.
For engineers reviewing the TRPGP40TGC datasheet, TRPGP40TGC pinout, TRPGP40TGC application, or TRPGP40TGC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 134.2-kHz resonant inductance, IP65-rated polystyrol housing, 715 × 270 × 25 mm form factor, and compatibility with HDX protocol transponders in harsh environments.
Technical Context
The TRPGP40TGC is a passive, resonant loop antenna optimized for magnetic coupling with 134.2-kHz HDX transponders. Its 27 µH inductance is tuned to match standard reader output impedance and achieve maximum energy transfer efficiency at the designated LF frequency.
It functions as a fixed-mount, externally powered RF interface element-not an active IC or module-and relies on external reader circuitry for excitation, signal demodulation, and protocol handling. Its mechanical design prioritizes environmental resilience over electrical tunability, with no user-adjustable components or matching networks.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LF RFID antenna applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| RI-ANT-G01E | Identical 27 µH inductance, IP65 rating, and 134.2-kHz optimization; same 715 × 270 × 25 mm dimensions but rated for –30°C to +60°C | Suitable for identical gate-mount vehicle ID use; narrower temperature range limits deployment in hot climates or unventilated enclosures | Select RI-ANT-G01E only if operating ambient stays below +60°C and legacy design validation exists |
| TRPGR30TGC | Same TGC package code and RFIDT product family; rated for –25°C to +85°C and uses glass-reinforced epoxy housing instead of UVSHIPS | Better high-temp stability and chemical resistance; slightly lower mechanical impact tolerance than TRPGP40TGC's polystyrol housing | Choose TRPGR30TGC where sustained +70–85°C ambient or aggressive cleaning agents are present |
Compared with RI-ANT-G01E and TRPGR30TGC, TRPGP40TGC offers the widest operational margin between its –25°C lower limit and +70°C upper limit while retaining the UV-stabilized polystyrol housing proven in decades of outdoor industrial use-making it optimal for mixed-climate, long-service-life deployments.

FAQ
What is the resonant frequency specification for TRPGP40TGC?
The TRPGP40TGC is designed and tested for operation at 134.2 kHz-the standardized frequency for HDX protocol transponders per ISO/IEC 11784 and 11785. Its 27 µH inductance is calibrated to resonate with typical reader output capacitance at this exact frequency, ensuring peak magnetic field strength and energy transfer efficiency. TRPGP40TGC does not support frequency adjustment or multi-band operation.
Does TRPGP40TGC include integrated electronics or require external power?
No, TRPGP40TGC is a fully passive antenna assembly with no active components, ICs, or power input. It functions solely as a resonant LC structure driven by an external 134.2-kHz RF source-typically a TI-compatible reader/writer module. All signal generation, modulation, and decoding occur in the reader; TRPGP40TGC contributes only magnetic field coupling.
Can TRPGP40TGC be mounted directly to metal surfaces?
Yes, TRPGP40TGC is designed for direct mounting to grounded metal structures using nonmetallic clamps and standard screws through its four 6.5-mm predrilled holes. Its construction avoids eddy-current losses that degrade LF antenna performance on conductive surfaces, and the spade/tongue terminals are isolated from the housing to prevent shorting.
What is the cable termination type on TRPGP40TGC?
TRPGP40TGC features factory-terminated spade and tongue terminals compatible with 3.5-mm stud mounting hardware. The 1-meter coaxial cable uses standard RF-grade dielectric and shielding optimized for 134.2-kHz transmission; no soldering or connector assembly is required for integration with TI reader evaluation boards or production modules.
How does TRPGP40TGC differ from stick-form antennas like RI-ANT-S01C?
TRPGP40TGC is a gate-form antenna with a 715 × 270 mm aperture optimized for wide-area, long-distance reads (e.g., vehicle passage), whereas RI-ANT-S01C is a compact 140 × 21 mm ferrite rod stick antenna intended for focused, short-range discrimination (e.g., handheld scanning). TRPGP40TGC generates broader magnetic field coverage and higher inductive coupling volume, making it unsuitable as a drop-in replacement for stick configurations.
