Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An RFID reader includes an HF antenna formed on a compound, or three-dimensional, surface. With an HF antenna so configured, the RFID reader operates with an expanded region in which a short-range RFID device can be effectively read, while still requiring close proximity between the RFID device and the RFID reader for successful communication. Consequently, the physical security of information associated with the RFID device can be maintained while simultaneously enhancing the reliability of communications between the RFID device and an RFID reader. In addition, the HF antenna can be reliably and repeatably formed into a desired three-dimensional shape with a relatively simple two-step process.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag reader, comprising: an enclosure; and a non-planar antenna disposed within the enclosure and comprising a plurality of conductive traces formed on a non-planar surface of a substrate, wherein the non-planar surface is configured to substantially conform to an external surface of the enclosure to cause a predetermined increase in an operating volume associated with the external surface for reading a radio frequency identi…
