WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

An antenna (18) coupled to a wireless communication device (10) that is comprised of a series of conductive elements (42) that form a conductor when placed under a force. The conductor is coupled to the wireless communication device to provide an antenna so that the wireless communication device is capable of communicating at an operating frequency defined by the length and construction of the conductor. The wireless communication device, through its communication using the conductor as an antenna, acts as an indicator of force to an interrogation reader when the wireless communication device is capable of communicating to the interrogation reader using the conductor as an antenna.
