    Hi,

    you will need so-called far field tags to achieve a read range of 5m.

    These tags have usually a kind of loop in combination with a dipole.

    Here is a typical design example:

    The ST25RU3993 EVAL board demo kit includes two of such tags.

    Another important point is to have a far field reader antenna as well.

    The ST25RU3993 EVAL board demo kit does not include such a far field antenna!

    It just includes a near-field antenna (max. read range: 0.3m).

    So if you buy a ST25RU3993 EVAL board, you have to buy a far field reader antenna separately in order to achieve 5m read range.

    Best regards,

    Marcel
