ANTENNA FOR NEAR FIELD AND FAR FIELD RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION

摘要

In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, there is disclosed an antenna for radio frequency identification. The antenna comprises a first radiating element for operating a first mode of radio frequency identification using a first current. The antenna further comprises a second radiating element for operating a second mode of radio frequency identification using a second current. Specifically, at least one of a portion of the first radiating element forms a portion of the second radiating element and a portion of the second radiating element forms a portion of the first radiating element. When the first radiating element is excited by the first current, the first radiating element generates a first field for providing the first mode of radio frequency identification, and when the second radiating element is excited by the second current, the second radiating element generates a second field for providing the second mode of radio frequency identification.
