Abstract:
The present invention includes an improved RFID antennae (14) and tags (18) and methods of manufacturing the RFID antennas. The RFID tags (18) of the present invention include a substrate that comprises an antenna assembly. A radiofrequency integrated circuit is in electrical communication with a portion of the antenna assembly. The RFID tag may include a structure, such as a lid element, that clamps and/or compresses the radiofrequency integrated circuit into contact with the antenna assembly, without the need for a conductive adhesive. In some embodiments, the antenna assembly is vacuum metallized or otherwise applied onto the substrate through patterned openings in a mask, such as a patterned masking cliche or a patterned polymer layer.
