Abstract

An identification system includes a fractal antenna fashioned as a 2-dimensional data matrix which defines a Unique Item Identifier which operates as a conventional active antenna element for a RFID identification system while the unique face of the antenna is utilized as a physical reference to distinguish the component. By utilizing the face of an antenna as a Unique Item Identifier, an RFID system component antenna integrates two identification systems.
