  • Micro RFID tag with conductive interface
    Patent number: 10706345
    Abstract: A micro radio frequency identification tag for use on articles in an equipment identification and tracking system includes a substrate, an RFID chip, a power storage means, an antenna, and a conductive means. The substrate has a pair of surfaces. The RFID chip and power storage means are operatively retained on one surface. The antenna is operatively retained on the other surface of the substrate and acts as a conductive layer. The conductive means extends between the surfaces of the substrate to operatively connect the antenna to the RFID chip and power storage means.
    Type: Grant
