Claim Text:
1. An RFID device comprising: a booster antenna adapted to extend the operational range of the RFID device; a first RF module comprising a first integrated circuit and a first set of one or more conductive traces, wherein at least one conductive trace of the first set of one or more conductive traces is configured to electrically couple to a coupling region of the booster antenna when the coupling region of the booster antenna is located in a first position relative to the first set of one or more conductive traces; a second RF module comprising a second integrated circuit and a second set of one or more conductive traces, wherein at least one conductive trace of the second set of one or more conductive traces is configured to electrically couple to the coupling region of the booster antenna when the coupling region of the booster antenna is located in a second position relative to the second set of one or more conductive traces; and a switching mechanism adapted to change the position of the coupling region of the booster antenna at least between the first position associated with the first RF module and the second position associated with the second RF module.
