Abstract
An example radio-frequency identification (RFID) antenna assembly includes a first printed circuit board (PCB), a second PCB, spaced apart from and generally parallel to the first PCB, a spacer, and a cable coupled to the first PCB and extending through a passage in the spacer and an opening in the second PCB. The first PCB and the second PCB are configured to operate as an RFID antenna. The first PCB is positioned proximate a first side of the spacer and is secured to the spacer, and the second PCB is positioned proximate a second side of the spacer, opposite the first side, and is secured to the spacer. A radiation pattern produced by the RFID antenna assembly is substantially directed away from a first side of the first PCB, opposite the spacer.
