Abstract
A radio frequency identification (“RFID”) antenna structure such as may be found on a tag, label or inlay for use with consumer products that has a conductive surface. The RFID structure of the present invention can be attached to the conductive surface without significantly modifying the performance of the RFID device. The RFID device has first and second portions, with the first portion having a first antenna pattern and the second portion including an elongate section for attachment to the consumer item.
Claims26
A RFID antenna structure for use with a RFID device, comprising;
- a conductive material having first and second portions;
- the first portion having a first antenna pattern and the second portion having a second antenna pattern distinct from the first antenna pattern;
- the second antenna portion cooperates with a conductive surface;
- and
- wherein the second portion is folded on itself and attached to a part of the conductive surface such that the second portion does not significantly modify performance of the first portion.
A RFID device for use with jewelry, comprising
- a RFID device, the RFID device having first and second antenna sections which are distinct from one another;
- a label substrate sized and configured to accommodate the RFID device;
- at least one piece of jewelry;
- the RFID device is provide on a surface of the label substrate and the label substrate is folded over the RFID device;
- and
- the label with the RFID device is attached to the at least one piece of jewelry without loss of performance of the device when the RFID device couples to the at least one piece of jewelry.
