Wireless article including a plural-turn loop antenna

摘要

A wireless article, such as an identification tag of badge, containing an electronic device includes on a substrate thereof a plural-turn loop antenna for receiving and/or transmitting radio frequency signals. Because the spacing of the loop antenna terminals is greater than the spacing of the contacts to which they are to connect on the electronic device, the electronic device cannot be attached to the same side of the wireless article as is the loop antenna. Electrically conductive material disposed in holes through the substrate of the wireless article connect the antenna terminals to the electronic device contacts.
