Abstract

A resonant circuit tag includes an integrated circuit for storing data and an antenna circuit for generating a first local field and resonating at a first predetermined radio frequency. A second circuit including an inductive coil selectively generates a second local field such that a sum of the first and second local fields approaches zero. The second circuit thus allows the resonant tag to be selectively decoupled from its environment.
