Rfid foldable antenna

An RFID antenna comprising a pair of elongated generally parallel spaced feed lines and radiation producing perturbations spaced along the feed lines, the feed lines and perturbations lying in a common plane, the feed lines comprising flat metal conductors, the feed lines being flexible and supported on a flexible layer of non-conductive material, whereby the feed lines are capable of being bent at a bend line without damage to the flexible layer out of a single plane such that resulting layers of the feed lines can be within a distance of less than 1½ inch of each other adjacent the bend line.

An RFID antenna having elongated parallel transmission lines and radiation emitting perturbations distributed along the transmission lines, the transmission lines and perturbations being coplanar and in a resiliently flexible state devoid of rigid support structures enabling the transmission lines and perturbations to be bent with a radius as small as ¼ inch out of a plane without damage to conform to a rigid structure.
