1. A wireless communication system, comprising:
- a first communication device;
a second communication device configured to communicate with the first communication device via wireless communication signals; and
an intermediate antenna interposed between the first and second communication devices, the intermediate antenna comprising a first coil configured for optimal coupling with the first communication device and a second coil configured for optimal coupling with the second communication device.

Abstract
An RFID system comprises an intermediate device that includes a first and second antenna coils connected together in a close loop format. The first coil can be optimized for communication with a reader, while the second coil can be optimized for communication with a tag. Thus, the dimension of the first antenna coil and the second antenna coil can be completely independent of each other. The intermediate device can be configured such that it can change the direction of the transmission from either the interrogator or the tag, thereby improving communication when the interrogator and tag are not inline.
