Abstract: A method of producing a transponder (20) comprising the following steps: demarcating the various turns (8) of a coil in a sheet (1), including a dielectric substrate covered by at least one conducting layer (2), by stamping said conducting layer with a stamping die (5) having sharp-edged surfaces (6) for contact with the superficial conducting layer (2; 2"'), connecting at least one electronic component (25) to the turns (8), and mounting at least one protective sheet (22; 27) covering the coil and the electronic component (25). To facilitate the stamping and to obtain clean incisions, the conducting layer is covered, before stamping, with a synthetic film. To prevent short circuits over the incisions, the incisions are preferably filled in with an adhesive, varnish or lacquer.
