Abstract

A radio frequency identification (RFID) tag comprises a substrate, a single, continuous antenna having a plurality of spiral turns and end portions that are integral with the spiral turns, and an integrated circuit. The spiral turns are disposed on the substrate and at least one of the end portions crosses over at least some of the spiral turns. One end portion of the antenna is integrally connected to the innermost spiral turn and extends toward an outermost spiral turn to cross over at least some of the spiral turns. Another end portion of the antenna may be integrally connected to the outermost spiral turn and extend toward the innermost spiral turn to cross over at least some of the other spiral turns. The end portion(s) may cross over the spiral turns on the side of the substrate on which the spiral turns are disposed or on the opposite side.
