Publication number: 20030169153Abstract: The invention relates to an RFID label comprising a resonant circuit consisting of a coil and a capacitor. Said RFID label is provided with an additional element (13, 17, 20, 21) for regulating the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit, this element being applied to the surface of the RFID label after production of the same. The additional element can be especially, a sticker with a conductive layer, which is stuck in such a way that it at least partially overlaps individual conductive surfaces of the label in order to produce an additional capacitance or which is simply stuck into the coil in order to reduce the effective inductance of the coil. Alternatively, the element can be formed by a layer with high relative permittivity which is applied between two conductive surfaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 19, 2003Publication date: September 11, 2003Inventor: Philipp Muller
