A radio frequency identification (RFID) device includes a conductive
antenna structure having an elongated slot therein. Parts of the antenna
structure on both sides of one end of the elongated slot are coupled to a
wireless communication device, such as an RFID chip or interposer. On the
opposite end of the elongated slot, parts of the antenna structure at
both sides of the elongated slot are electrically coupled together, for
instance by being coupled together by other conductive parts of the
antenna structure. All of the parts of the antenna structure may be parts
of a continuous unitary layer of conductive material. The antenna
structure with the elongated slot therein may facilitate increased
readability of the RFID device, particularly in directions out from the
edges of the RFID device.
