1. A method of extending media cartridge radio frequency identification (RFID) performance physical range, the method comprising:
- mounting a plurality of passive antenna couplers in a media cartridge RFID tag, wherein the passive antenna couplers comprise two or more inductive elements electrically connected together and to a capacitive element to form a loop circuit;
connecting the couplers to a radio transmitter/receiver in the media cartridge RFID tag; and
communicating wirelessly between the media cartridge RFID tag and a second radio transmitter/receiver in a second sending/receiving device within a predetermined physical range.
