INVERTED F ANTENNA WITH COPLANAR FEED AND RFID DEVICE HAVING SAME

摘要

An RFID device according to one embodiment includes an inverted F antenna having an active portion, a ground plane spaced from the active portion, and a feed coupled to and coplanar with the active portion; and an RFID controller coupled to the feed. An inverted F antenna according to another embodiment includes a substrate for an RFID device; an active portion coupled to the substrate; a ground plane spaced from the active portion; and a feed coupled to and coplanar with the active portion. An inverted F antenna according to yet another embodiment includes an active portion coupled to the substrate; a ground plane spaced from the active portion; a feed coupled to and coplanar with the active portion; and an extension portion being selectively coupleable to the active portion for altering a wavelength of the inverted F antenna.
