Abstract
A radio-frequency identification tag that includes a ground plane made of an electrically conductive material, and an actuator made of a transducer material adapted to convert a variation of a physical quantity into a mechanical displacement of the ground plane between first and second positions when the physical quantity crosses a predetermined threshold in order to indicate this event to the reader. The transducer material is a thermal shape-memory material or a magnetostrictive material or a magnetic shape-memory material. The transducer material is also an electrically conductive material. The ground plane and the actuator are both formed by a single strip made of the transducer material and a mobile portion of which moves relative to an antenna between the first and second positions when the physical variable crosses the predetermined threshold.
