Abstract

An apparatus and method for locating and identifying an object comprises attaching an RFID tag around a cylindrical object. The RFID tag comprises a flexible circuit constructed and arranged for conformably positioning about a cylindrical object and a plurality of antenna loops serially positioned about the flexible circuit. The antenna loops are overlapped with each other so that the flexible circuit receives an RF signal at a strength for transmission to the flexible circuit at any orientation of the RFID tag about the cylindrical object. The RF signal is received by at least one of the plurality of overlapping antenna loops. The source receives from the RFID tag a reply signal comprising identification data corresponding to the RFID tag. An identity and location are determined for the cylindrical object in response to the reply signal.
