The right antenna depends on factors such as application, polarization, read zone, installation method, frequency region, environmental conditions, and RFID reader compatibility. Times-7 models such as the RTAS, A6590C, A5531-E as well as AN650 Ground RFID Antenna by Zebra with 9 dbi gain are designed for different ground-level tracking requirements.

What is the difference between a linear and circular polarized RFID antenna?
