Various radio frequency identification (RFID) tags are described that
dynamically vary their resonant frequency to reduce or eliminate the
potential effects of electromagnetic "tag-to-tag" coupling. An RFID tag,
for example, includes a main antenna tuned to a first resonant frequency,
and switching circuitry that dynamically changes the resonant frequency
of the main antenna. The switching circuitry may selectively couple
electrical elements, such as capacitive elements, inductive elements, or
combinations thereof, to vary the resonant frequency of the RFID tag. The
RFID tag may include a sensing circuit that determines when to
selectively couple the electrical element to the main antenna to adjust
the resonant frequency of the main antenna.
