Pad Structures for Antennas That Allow Multiple Orientations With RFID Straps

Abstract

In some embodiments, a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag system includes a first strap mounting pad of an RFID antenna component, and a second strap mounting pad of the RFID antenna component, the second strap mounting pad being electrically coupled to the first RFID strap mounting pad. At least one of the first strap mounting pad and the second strap mounting pad may extend diagonally with respect to a wide edge direction of the antenna component, thus making the RFID antenna component configured to receive both a strap that is parallel to a wide edge direction of the antenna component and a strap that is perpendicular to a wide edge direction of the antenna component.
