Abstract: A transponder unit which can be integrated in a transport unit or a card or the like. The transponder unit includes, in addition to an encapsulated transponder of an integrated circuit, an aerial winding having a resistance RA and a capacitor parallel thereto and having a capacitance CA. A closed coupling circuit of secondary winding is coupled with the aerial winding by a mutual inductance MSA and a substantially larger primary winding in series with the secondary winding and having fewer turns, for example only one turn. To achieve almost optimum energy transfer between a reading device and the transponder and to increase the permissible reading distance, the mutual inductance MSA is adjusted to comply with the relationship MSA=?{square root over ( )}[RA/?) (LP+LS+2MPS)], where ?2=1/(LACA) is true for the receiving frequency ? of the transponder and Lp and LS are the inductances of the primary winding and of the secondary winding and MPS is their mutual inductance.

Abstract: A transponder contains an integrated circuit, a power transmitting component (antenna) and a capsule made of a thermoplastic resin (hot glue) that surrounds the circuit continuously at least on one surface of the circuit. The glue preferably is a polyamide and surrounds the circuit protectively, ensuring a mechanical connection between the circuit and the antenna. The encapsulation with the hot glue is conducted at pressures and temperatures that are below the pressures and temperatures encountered during conventional injection molding. The transponder can be integrated into an injection molded part, for example a coin, by being placed in an injection mold in which it is supported by feet and then surrounded by molding material in a conventional injection molding process so that it develops a more resistant sheath.

Abstract: The process for assembly of a coil with or without a core on a printed circuit comprises placing the printed circuit in the winding machine before starting the winding. When the Flyer brings the wire for the winding, it causes the latter to pass over a metallized path of the printed circuit while keeping said wire taut. After the Flyer has effected the number of turns necessary for the winding, it will carry the wire along, passing onto a second metallized path, always keeping it taut. The soldering of the two end wires of the winding on the respective metallized paths will take place very easily since each of said wires is held taut at the location where the soldering is to take place. This process permits automating the production of miniaturized electronic circuits comprising a winding.
