RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (RFID) INTEGRATED CIRCUIT (IC) AND MATCHING NETWORK/ANTENNA EMBEDDED IN SURFACE MOUNT DEVICES (SMD)

摘要

A matching network is integrated into a multilayer surface mount device containing an RFID integrated circuit to provide both an antenna and a matching network for the RFID integrated circuit in the ultra high frequency regime. The surface mount device may be mounted on a printed circuit board to provide RF and RFID functionality to the printed circuit board.
