Patent Images
1. A radio frequency transceiver, comprising:
- first and second covers, each cover being composed of at least a first layer and a second layer, the first layer being a sheet of polymer film, and the second layer being a barrier material which is a barrier to water vapor; and
a radio frequency transceiver circuit mounted between the two covers;
wherein the two covers are sealed together along a peripheral contour which completely encircles the transceiver.

Abstract
The present invention teaches a method of manufacturing an enclosed transceiver, such as a radio frequency identification ("RFID") tag. Structurally, in one embodiment, the tag comprises an integrated circuit (IC) chip, and an RF antenna mounted on a thin film substrate powered by a thin film battery. A variety of antenna geometries are compatible with the above tag construction. These include monopole antennas, dipole antennas, dual dipole antennas, a combination of dipole and loop antennas. Further, in another embodiment, the antennas are positioned either within the plane of the thin film battery or superjacent to the thin film battery.
