Definitions

  • a tag having an RFID antenna to identify and monitor objects is well known in the art.
  • a tag comprises for instance an antenna circuit formed with conductive tracks which is electrically connected to an integrated circuit (IC) chip that includes a memory. It uses electromagnetic field produced by an RFID reader. If such a tag enters the magnetic field for a sufficient time, the RFID antenna will become energized and the electronic circuit can transmit a signal towards the reader or a separate receiving antenna.
  • IC integrated circuit
  • Such a mode for contactless communication between an IC tag and a reader/writer is expected to become more diversified in the future.
  • portable communication terminals such as mobile phones will be equipped with a tag function and a reader/writer function.
  • the resonance frequency of the antenna is shifted with respect to the nominal resonance frequency. This shifting of resonance frequency affects the information exchange between the transponder and the reader/writer device and even results in no communication at all (de-tuning of the whole RFID system).
  • the antenna also has to meet space consumption requirement, in particular the antenna should have a thickness as thin as possible and should be as easy as possible to manufacture and is compatible with mass production specification. Thickness issue is particularly important when the antenna is intended to be cased in a mobile phone, especially new generation of slim smart phones, where space is quite limited.
  • Fig.1 show a first embodiment of a planar RFID antenna which comprises a supporting substrate 2 on which an electrically conductive track 4 has been formed.
  • the substrate 2 is, in the context of the invention, made of a magnetic flexible sheet which comprises magnetic particles (such as a powder or a flake of magnetic ferrite) dispersed in a resin binder.
  • An example of such a ferrite sheet is Liqualloy (TM) Flexible Film sold by Alps Electric Co., LTD.
  • TM Liqualloy
  • Such type of ferrite sheets are also easily available by ferrite material suppliers, such as for example Japanese ferrite material suppliers.
  • Fig. 3 which is a cross-sectional view in a line A-A of Fig. 2 , one may observe that the copper ferrite laminate is provided with two blind holes, located at the level of the two antenna connection ends. These blind holes provide an easy access for electrically connecting the antenna to a device.
  • the antenna connection ends may be mechanically embossed for getting a reliable electrical connection with the device.
  • the applicant has then succeeded in obtaining antennas of thickness ranging between 150 to 200pm with a layered structure as schematically drawn in Fig. 4 .
  • a second sheet of magnetic material is placed on a second surface of the above described composite magnetic sheet, i.e. on an opposite surface of the first magnetic sheet to the surface onto which the conductive track is formed or to be formed.
  • Such a second magnetic sheet can be made of a composite material including magnetic particles and a synthetic resin, a sintered type of magnetic material or can be a plain ferrite sheet.
  • the layered structure usually comprises:
