<p>A method of forming a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag by providing a first panel including a first and second conductive sheet secured to a sheet of dielectric material and forming one or more radiating elements in the conductive sheets by coupling an RFID chip to the two conductive sheets. The first panel may be a construction grade building panel or a similar suitable panel. The method enables RFID tags to be manufactured using inexpensive materials using inexpensive manufacturing processes. A method of forming a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag by providing a first panel including a first conductive sheet secured to a sheet of dielectric material and forming one or more radiating elements in the conductive sheet by forming grooves in the conductive sheet. The first panel may be a construction grade building panel or a similar suitable panel. The method enables panel antennas to be manufactured using inexpensive materials using inexpensive manufacturing processes.</p>
