Patent ID: 8665172

Claim:
A transponder module comprising a chip module disposed on an antenna module, with a chip and chip carrier featuring a strip-shaped carrier substrate, the chip being electrically contacted with a chip contact arrangement which is located at a distance from longitudinal ends of the carrier substrate for electrically contacting the chip and is disposed between antenna contact surfaces, such that terminal faces of the chip are directly connected to the chip contact arrangement in an electrically conductive manner, wherein the chip contact arrangement and the antenna contact surfaces are located on an application surface of the carrier substrate and at least one insulation surface is formed on the application surface between the chip contact arrangement and the antenna contact surfaces, the antenna module including an antenna disposed on an antenna side of an antenna substrate, the contact surfaces of the antenna at least partially extending over contact recesses formed in the antenna substrate, wherein the chip module is disposed on an opposite side facing the antenna side, such that the antenna contact surfaces of the chip module are contacted with contact surface back sides of the contact surfaces in an electrically conductive manner and the chip engages with a chip recess formed in the antenna substrate.
