RFID TAG, ANTENNA, AND PRINTER SYSTEM

An RFID label with embedded tag is passed through an RFID antenna in a printer system, where the RFID antenna allows a roll of such labels to pass in close proximity to the antenna and still allow each individual RFID tag to be read and/or programmed. The RFID antenna, in different embodiments, has...

Zusammenfassung:An RFID label with embedded tag is passed through an RFID antenna in a printer system, where the RFID antenna allows a roll of such labels to pass in close proximity to the antenna and still allow each individual RFID tag to be read and/or programmed. The RFID antenna, in different embodiments, has a rectangular RF field spreader in contact with a triangular divergent RF conductor with an RF source point at the point, is formed with a transmission line, e.g., two parallel conductive strips, coupled to an RF phase splitter, or is formed with two parallel microstrip transmission lines coupled to an RF phase splitter therebetween. In another embodiment, the printer system extracts or parses bar code commands from a data stream and passes the commands to both a printer and an RFID reader to print the image and program the tag with the bar code information.
