Abstract
A transponder antenna is carried by a substrate and is sandwiched between the substrate and a cover sheet. A rectangular opening extends through the cover sheet and receives a signal processing chip adhesively carried in a recess below a cap which covers the opening. The chip is spaced with respect to the antenna so as to facilitate inductive coupling between the chip and antenna.
