Abstract

A transponder to be fitted in or on a surface of an article which is substantially formed of a rubber product, in particular a transponder to be fitted in a tire, has a dipole antenna. The antenna length Lair, wherein air is exclusively present as the transmission medium, is calculated with the equation Lair=0.5×c/f, wherein c is the speed of light and f is the transmission frequency. In order to achieve a long transmission range, the transponder in the rubber product has an antenna length Lkp between 0.45×Lair and 0.90×Lair, preferably substantially between 0.61×Lair and 0.71×Lair.
