Abstract:
1. A dual band antenna arrangement, comprising: a separator; a monolithic conductive sheet with a first end portion and a second end portion wherein the sheet has a first and second side; a first antenna configured to communicate signals at a first frequency and on said first end portion wherein the first end portion has a first RFID integrated circuit connected to the first antenna; said first antenna attached to a first side of said separator; a second antenna configured to communicate signals at a second frequency different from the first frequency and on said second end portion wherein the second end portion has a second RFID integrated circuit connected to the second antenna; each of said first and second antennas are on a first side of the conductive sheet; said second antenna attached to a second side of said separator; wherein said second antenna provides shielding to said first antenna at the first frequency; a fold line located between said first end portion and said second end portion; and wherein said separator is between said first end portion and said second end portion when said fold line is folded and the first antenna and the first RFID integrated circuit are on the first side of the sheet and the second antenna and the second RFID integrated circuit are on the second side of the sheet wherein the first and second antennas are formed in the conductive sheet with a laser.
