  • Patent number: 8215562
    Abstract: The present invention provides a wireless tag to be attached onto a disc-shaped recording medium including first and second regions. The first region, made of a nonconductive member, is disposed on the inner radial part of the recording medium, whereas the second region, including a conductive member, is disposed on the outer radial part of the recording medium. The wireless tag includes: a feed section connected to a wireless IC chip; a conductive plate including a slot therein; and a slot antenna for receiving power from the feed section. The conductive plate is formed for at least partially overlapping with the second region when the wireless tag is attached onto the inner radial part of the recording medium. The slot has a length set for obtaining an inductance enough to cause a resonance between the slot antenna and the wireless IC chip at a predetermined wireless frequency.

  • Patent number: 8022886
    Abstract: A crossed dual tag includes two tags each of which comprises, on one plane, a dipole antenna formed with conductors, a feeding part to which an IC chip is connected at the center of the dipole antenna, and a loop-shaped inductance part that is formed between the dipoles of the dipole antenna and connected to the dipoles of the dipole antenna in parallel with respect to the feeding part. The two tags are crossed at right angles, and stacked to contact as closely as possible so that the loops of the inductance parts overlap as wide as possible. A reader/writer of an RFID system sequentially switches the surface of a circular polarized wave of a wireless signal between forward and backward directions, and reads information written to a user memory area from the tag that responds more strongly.
