Juan Fernando Martin Antolin has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 11270088
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chipless RFID tag (T), comprising: —a dielectric substrate (1); and —electromagnetic resonators (3) excitable by an external electromagnetic field and respectively arranged on separate spatial locations of the dielectric substrate (1) forming a row, and configured to resonate at a common resonant frequency. The dielectric substrate (1) defines several predetermined encoding areas that include the separate spatial locations, so that data is encoded by the presence/absence of operative electromagnetic resonators (3) thereon. The present invention also relates to a system comprising the chipless RFID tag of the invention and a RFID reader (R) reading an encoded code by detecting the presence/absence of attenuation peaks on an electromagnetic wave providing the external electromagnetic field to the electromagnetic resonators (3). The present invention also relates to a method for encoding data on a chipless RFID tag defined according to the present invention.

  • Patent number: 7619495
    Abstract: The bandpass filter comprises transmission line comprising a conductor strip (2), and, in said transmission line, at least one bandpass filter cell, comprising at least one split-rings resonator (6, 7), inductive element (4, 41) and capacitive element (3). The bandpass filter has a frequency response in which at least one passband can be identified. The conductor strip, split-rings resonator(s), inductive element(s) and capacitive element(s) are dimensioned and arranged so that the bandpass filter, for frequencies within said passband, behaves as a left-handed transmission line for at least one range of frequencies within said passband, and as a right-handed transmission line for at least another range of frequencies within said passband, thus providing for a large bandwidth. The invention also relates to an electronic device including the filter, and to a method of producing it.
