First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for manufacturing a radio frequency (RF) transponder, comprising:
- providing a battery for operating the transponder;
configuring an antenna to backscatter RF interrogation radiation that is transmitted from an interrogation device;
disposing the antenna and the battery on a substrate, wherein the substrate is configured to allow for application of the transponder around a corner of an object, so that the battery is oriented in a first plane and the antenna is oriented in a second plane different from the first plane.

Abstract
A radio frequency transponder includes at least one battery, which is coupled to provide electrical power for operating the transponder and at least one antenna, which is configured to receive and backscatter RF interrogation radiation from an interrogation device. An integrated circuit is arranged to store a code including information and, powered only with energy provided by the battery, to vary a radiation characteristic of the antenna responsively to the code so as to modulate the information onto the backscattered radiation.
