1. A method of matching an electronic circuit of a radio frequency transponder having a complex input impedance to an antenna, the method comprising:

  • measuring the complex input impedance of the electronic circuit;

    calculating a first matching element value to transform the complex input impedance to an intermediate impedance value;

    calculating a second matching element value to transform the intermediate impedance value to a real value corresponding to the antenna impedance; and

    constructing a matching network with inductive and capacitive matching elements corresponding to the calculated first and second matching element values, including forming at least one of the inductive and capacitive elements of the matching network integrally with the antenna.
