A conveyor belt (10) contains at least one integrated circuit transponder (30) which, upon interrogation by an external radio signal, transmits identification information in digitally encoded form. The transponder (30) has a generally planar, circular antenna (36A) surrounding a printed circuit board to which an integrated circuit is attached. The transponder may be encased in a rigid epoxy material to protect the structure from damage during use. Transponders placed adjacent splices (60, 62, 64) in a splice segment provide non-contact means of locating and monitoring the repair. |
