First Claim
Patent Images
1. A radio frequency identification (“
- RFID”
) tag, comprising;
a dielectric substrate;
an antenna attached to the dielectric substrate; and
an integrated circuit coupled to the antenna,wherein the antenna comprises;
i) a dipole antenna element comprising two conductors having lengths that set an operating frequency range of the antenna; and
ii) a second antenna element coupled to the conductors of the dipole antenna element that substantially balances an impedance of the antenna with an input impedance of the integrated circuit without substantially affecting the operating frequency of the antenna.

13. A method of manufacturing a radio frequency identification (“
- RFID”
) tag comprising;selecting lengths for two conductors of a dipole antenna element for an antenna of the RFID tag to set the operating frequency range for the RFID tag; selecting a second antenna element for electrical connection to the dipole antenna element to substantially balance the impedance of the antenna with an input impedance of an integrated circuit of the RFID tag without substantially affecting the operating frequency of the dipole antenna; and manufacturing the RFID tag according to the selected lengths of the conductors of the dipole antenna element and the selected second antenna element. - View Dependent Claims (14)
