Method and system for manufacturing radio frequency identification tag antennas
First Claim
1. A system for manufacturing radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antennas, comprising:
- a casting surface having at least one antenna pattern extending therefrom;
a coating solution applicator that coats the casting surface at least in an area other than the at least one antenna pattern with a coating solution, wherein the casting surface deposits the coating solution onto a target sheet;
a curing agent that cures the coating solution on the target sheet to form at least one depression corresponding to the at least one antenna pattern; and
an antenna material applicator that fills the at least one depression with a conductive material to form at least one antenna on the target sheet.

Abstract
A method and system for manufacturing radio frequency identification (RFID) tag antennas is described. A casting surface is provided having at least one raised antenna pattern extending therefrom. The casting surface is coated at least in an area other than the at least one raised antenna pattern with a coating solution. The casting surface is applied to a target sheet thereby depositing the coating solution onto the target sheet. The coating solution is cured to form at least one depression corresponding to the at least one raised antenna pattern. The at least one depression is filled with a conductive material to form at least one antenna on the target sheet.
