Abstract
RFID tags are provided for incorporation into the packaging of a microwavable food item, with the RFID tag being configured to be safely microwaved. The RFID tag includes a substrate having opposing first and second surfaces. An antenna is secured to the first surface, with the antenna defining a gap and being configured to operate at a first frequency. An RFID chip is electrically coupled to the antenna across the gap. A shielding structure is secured to the second surface of the substrate, with at least a portion of the shielding structure being in substantial alignment with the gap. The shielding structure is configured to limit the voltage across the gap when the antenna is exposed to a second frequency that is greater than first frequency. Also provided are methods for manufacturing RFID tags from a web in which conductive layers are secured to opposing surfaces of a substrate.
