Abstract
A system and method for tracking medical articles, each having an RFID tag. The articles located in an EM shielded container that includes a probe that comprises a main conductive element having capacitive coupling across a slot to form an electric field and spacing above a ground plane to form an equally strong or stronger magnetic field, both fields filling the interior of the container to activate RFID tags therein. A parasitic element controls the energy pattern of the probe.
