A method of fabricating an RFID antenna, the method comprising: (a)
depositing a slurry upon a substrate in a predetermined pattern, the
substrate including a plurality of micropores operative to drain a fluid
component of the slurry from the surface of the substrate, while
maintaining conductive particles of the slurry on a surface of the
substrate; and (b) drying the conductive particles to secure the
conductive particles upon a surface of the substrate and provide a
conductive antenna. The invention also includes an RFID tag comprising:
(a) a substrate including a plurality of micropores; (b) a microchip; and
(c) an RFID antenna in electrical communication with the microchip and
contacting the substrate, the RFID antenna comprising conductive
particles deposited upon the substrate by ejecting a slurry from an
inkjet printer.
