Abstract

A shoe that includes an RFID tag that employs two antennas forming space diversity, and the signal developed at the two antennas develops time diversity.

Claims

1. Apparatus comprising:

a shoe,

an RFID tag physically coupled to the wearable; and

a first antenna running along a first side of the shoe, and a second antenna running along a second side of the shoe.

2. The apparatus of claim 4 where the RFID tag includes circuitry for sending signal different bursts to the first and the second antennas that create a space-time diversity in the transmission of signals by the RFID.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 where the circuitry includes a switch that sends alternate signal bursts to the antennas of the pair of antennas.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 where the RFID tag is embedded in the shoe during manufacture.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 where the shoe includes a means for attaching the RFID tag to the shoe.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 where the means for attaching is a pocket.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 where the shoe includes a pocket for accepting the RFID tag and two sleeves for accepting a pair of antennas.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 where the RFID is water tight.
