IDENTIFICATION TECHNOLOGY

Claims

A method for identifying an identification (ID) tag that includes at least one magnetically bistable element. The method comprises one or more steps, including transmitting an excitation signal to the magnetically bistable element via an excitation antenna. A further step includes receiving a response signal generated by the bistable element via a reception antenna. A further step includes analyzing the response signal to identify at least two peaks. A further step includes generating an identification code based on the two peaks, the identification code being representative of an identity of the bistable element.
