Abstract

Described are RFID structures. An RFID structure includes a planar gasket layer with a tensile modulus value less than 5 Gpa. The gasket layer defines a perimeter including one or more guide indentations. The RFID structure also includes a loop antenna assembly positioned within the gasket layer. The loop antenna includes an antenna track, and at least two contact pads. The loop antenna assembly surrounds an area that can be more than at least 10% of a total area defined by an outer perimeter of the gasket layer. The RFID structure also includes an integrated circuit unit coupled to the at least two contact pads.
