Abstract
A flexible RFID wire tag includes an RFID chip and an associated antenna formed of a deformable filament. The antenna may be helically shaped and deformable from an initial helical configuration to an expanded helical configuration having a greater diameter. An object or a portion of an object is positioned within an open interior of the helical antenna and then the antenna is returned from the expanded configuration to the initial configuration to cause the antenna to contact and grip the object. In another aspect, first and second ends of the antenna are secured to an object, with the filament being configured to deform and/or vibrate upon being subjected to a stimulus so as to modify at least one operational parameter of the antenna. Such a deformable filament may be helical or may be differently configured, such as to be incorporated into a cardboard ticket.
