Components of an RFID Tag

Inlay The tag inlay consists of the integrated circuit (IC), an antenna, and a substrate to hold it all together. The inlay, on its own, is a fully functional tag; ready to be packaged into either a smart label or another casing. Integrated Chip (IC) The IC is an electronic circuit or microchip that is
