A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) device such as an RFID tag
according to one embodiment of the present invention includes first and
second sides. A first microstrip antenna extends along the first side,
the first microstrip antenna comprising a microstrip positioned towards
the first side, a Radio Frequency-(RF-)reflective back plane, and a
dielectric spacer positioned between the microstrip and the back plane. A
second microstrip antenna extends along the second side, the second
microstrip antenna comprising a microstrip positioned towards the second
side, an RF-reflective back plane, and a dielectric spacer positioned
between the microstrip and the back plane. The first and second
microstrip antennas are each independently coupled to circuitry for
receiving signals from the first and second microstrip antennas.
