Antenna structure, transponder and method of manufacturing an antenna structure

Abstract

An antenna structure (106) comprising a first electrically conductive element (102) having a first end and a second end, a second electrically conductive element (103) having a first end and a second end, and a coupling structure (104) short- circuiting the first electrically conductive element (102) with the second electrically conductive element (103) by means of electrically connecting the electrically conductive elements (102, 103) at positions between the first and the second ends, wherein an integrated circuit (105) is connectable between the first end of the first electrically conductive element (102) and the first end of the second electrically conductive element (103).

Description

Technical field

[0001] The invention relates to an antenna structure.

[0002] In addition, the present invention relates to a transponder.

[0003] Finally, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing an antenna structure. Background technique

[0004] The importance of automatic identification systems is increasing, especially in the service sector, logistics, commerce, and industrial production. Therefore, automatic identification systems are being increasingly implemented in these and other fields, and will likely replace bar code systems in the future. A further application of the identification system involves the identification of individuals and animals.

[0005] In specific non-contact identification systems, such as transponder systems, these systems are suitable for rapid wireless transmission of data without the need for cable connections that may be annoying. These systems utilize the radiation and absorption of electromagnetic waves, especially in the high-fr...
