Abstract
A radio frequency transponder assembly comprises a passive transponder and an antenna with a matching circuit comprising an inductor and a capacitor which are formed integrally with the antenna components. The antenna is a dipole with legs formed from wire or foil strips, in which case the inductor and capacitor are formed from same material as the antenna legs. The values of the inductor and capacitor are calculated to match the antenna impedance to the equivalent load of the transponder circuit as seen via the power rectification circuits of the transponder.
