Crown, QinetiQ tackle RFID metal-packaging challenges

5 October 2006

 Email This |  Printer Friendly

Crown and QinetiQ have partnered to solve the signal reflection, detuning and grounding problems that plague RFID use in metal packaging.

The companies have launched a joint development program to adapt QinetiQ’s Omni-ID Pak RFID. QinetiQ’s standalone Omni-ID Tag and integrated Omni-ID Pak technology reportedly allows a UHF tag to be mounted directly onto the metal substrate.

Measuring less than 1 millimeter in thickness, the unique Omni-ID structure reportedly collects and focuses RF energy and enables coupling to the chip. The companies say that the RFID chips require only a short coupling antenna rather than the larger dipole.
