A RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) TAG

摘要

An RF Tag (10) includes an integrated circuit (16) to control the operation and protocol of the tag. An antenna (12) is connected to the matching circuit (14), where the matching circuit is used to match the antenna to the IC (16). The IC and matching circuit are embedded in the antenna. In one example, the tag utilizes stripline, microstrip and/or lumped technologies and is 2mm thick or less than 2mm thick, and is used directly onto a metal surface.
