Abstract
A self-powered radio integrated circuit (IC) includes a radio IC node and an embedded antenna within a single IC package that is configurable for the transmission, receipt, and storage of data. The data is transmitted and received across a radio frequency band. A power source is mounted adjacent to the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit and the power source are included on the same chip carrier for inclusion in other systems.
