  • Tamper indicating saw tag system and method for using same
    Publication number: 20060220855
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a tamper indicating system using surface acoustical wave tag devices. This is achieved by the use of at least two surface acoustical wave tag devices. In one embodiment, a first surface acoustical wave tag device returns an identification signal in response to an interrogation and a second surface acoustical wave tag devices returns an indication of tampering in response to an interrogation. An antenna assembly is provided comprising conducting elements each of which are deformed to form a partial helix.
