Radio Frequency Identification Integrated Circuit Having An Antenna Incorporated Within The Package Thereof

摘要

A radio frequency identification (RFID) integrated circuit (IC) with an antenna embedded within the package of the IC. Thus, the RFID IC is a standalone identifying device that may be easily attached to a PCB in any currently available attaching process. There is also provided a method of tagging a PCB. The method comprises attaching a master RFID IC with an antenna embedded within the IC package on a predefined location on a printed circuit card; delivering the information stored on plurality of slave RFID ICs on the same printed circuit board to the master RFID IC; and reading from the predefined location of the master RFID IC data pertaining to each slave RFID IC.
