- *Abstract
-
A Multiple Antenna Disclosure (Froot Loops) has been filed where a set of antennas each with a diode produced a frequency signature that is twice the excitation frequency. By attaching or excluding various antennas with different frequency responses, a binary combination of signals can be produced that can be read by a reader of appropriate design. The advantage of this type of an identification tag is that it can be painted directly on a product in the packaging stage with placement of the Simple diodes thus reducing the cost of a separate tag and expensive custom silicon die.New Technology of this invention is intended to produce recognizable RF signatures from cloth substrates. In order to provide a flexible device on a cloth substrate, the conductor material for the antennas is provided by a conductive polymer. In the initial tests, the polymer is applied through a silk screen process. A simple diode is attached to each antenna by a conductive epoxy.
