Abstract:
The invention relates to a device comprising at least a first RFID module (10) and a second RFID module (11), each comprising a chip (100, 110) coupled to a wire loop antenna (101,111). The first and second RFID modules (10,11) operate at a first operating frequency into a first frequency band and at a second operating frequency into a second frequency band respectively, the second operating frequency being substantially equal to a multiple k of the first operating frequency, with k‰¥2. The device further comprises a resonant half-wave dipole (12) having a length (L) that is substantially equal to »/2 where » is a wavelength associated to the first frequency band. The first module is present in the vicinity of the centre of the half-wave dipole (12) and the second module is present at a distance substantially equal to (2*n+1)»/4*k from an end of the half-wave dipole (12), with nˆˆ [0...k-1].

The invention relates to a method (100) for assembling an electronic radio-frequency identification tag (1) comprising a dielectric carrier (30) arranged so as to receive a radio-frequency identification module (10) and a conductive antenna (20). Such a method particularly comprises a step (150) of depositing, on the upper face (30u) of the support (30), following the deposition of said radio-frequency identification module (10), a layer of a thermoplastic material (TP2), said layer at least partially covering the first conductive antenna (20) and the radio-frequency identification module (10).
Abstract:
An RFID device includes a conductive sheet defining at least first and second portions, with an intermediate portion joining the other portions. One or more RFID chips electrically coupled to the portions, such as one or both of the first and second portions of the conductive sheet and to the intermediate portion. The first portion of the conductive sheet defines a multi-turn high frequency antenna having one or more disruptions in the conductive sheet positioned between and/or defining adjacent turns of the multi-turn antenna. The second portion of the conductive sheet defines a first radiating arm of an ultra high frequency antenna. The disruptions direct a high frequency current around the turns of the multi-turn high frequency antenna, while allowing an ultra high frequency current to flow across the disruptions, resulting in the first portion of the conductive sheet defining a second radiating arm of the ultra high frequency antenna.

Abstract:
An account is managed using information read from a dual frequency transponder. Information stored on the dual frequency transponder can be read by a NFC-enabled device and by a UHF RFID reader. The information links, corresponds, or otherwise provides access to account information stored at a remote server. For example, a NFC-enabled device can read the information from the dual frequency transponder and use that information to enable instant and on-the-spot recharging of a toll account. In addition, a UHF RFID toll reader can scan information from the dual frequency transponder and use that information to debit toll charges from the correct toll account. The dual frequency transponder can be embedded in a license plate and read using a reader placed in the road. Additionally, the transponder can be configured to function at the correct frequency only when a valid vehicle registration sticker is applied to the license plate.

And the cutout part 21 is formed into a concave shape which is opened in an edge portion of the one long side and has a predetermined width and depth to allow the IC chip 11 of the inlay 10 to be disposed therein.
Abstract:
A proximity integrated circuit card (PICC) is disclosed comprising a main loop antenna to transmit data from said PICC and a secondary loop antenna to receive RF transmission to said PICC. The main antenna and the secondary antenna arranged to yield low mutual magnetic coupling so that the RF transmission to the PICC yields bigger signal in the secondary antenna than the signal that yields in the secondary antenna from a transmission from the main antenna. According to some embodiments the secondary antenna is arranged to only partially overlap said main antenna.
