Abstract
A selectively readable RFID tag includes a partial slot antenna; an inductive loop disposed proximate to the partial slot antenna; and an electronic circuit. The electronic circuit is operatively coupled to the inductive loop to selectively respond to far-field radiofrequency communication based on a distance between the partial slot antenna and a separate conductive element.
