Passive identification tag fabrication methods

A system, comprising:

• a computing device having one or more processors and a memory,
• wherein the one or more processors determine a pattern for a resonant structure of a resonance layer of a passive identification tag and a pattern for a characteristic structure of a characteristic layer to be disposed with respect to the resonance layer;
• a printing device having an additive manufacturing device and/or a subtractive manufacturing device,
• wherein the printing device generates, based on the pattern for the resonant structure and using a conductive material, the resonant structure on a substrate to form the resonance layer, and
• wherein the printing device generates, based on the pattern for the characteristic structure, the characteristic structure with respect to the resonance layer to form the characteristic layer.

A method of fabricating a tag, the method comprising:

• determining a pattern for a resonant structure of a resonance layer of the tag;
• determining a pattern for a characteristic structure of a characteristic layer to be disposed on the resonance layer;
• generating, based on the pattern for the resonant structure and using a conductive material, the resonant structure on a substrate to form the resonance layer, wherein the resonant structure generates a tag response in response to receiving an incoming detection signal;
• and
• generating, based on the pattern for the characteristic structure and using a dielectric material, the characteristic structure on the resonance layer to form the characteristic layer, wherein the dielectric structure modifies the tag response so that the tag generates a modified tag response in response to receiving the incoming detection signal.
