The granted patent US12039394B2 describes a novel radio frequency identification (RFID) tag designed for attachment to the surface of containers holding liquids. The RFID tag features an integrated circuit (IC) chip for storing identification information, a loop conductor, and an antenna unit comprising two distinct elements: a first element with straight line-shaped conductors and a second element with meandering-shaped conductors. These elements are configured to extend in opposite directions from the loop conductor, with differing electrical lengths, one being an integer multiple of approximately ¼ of the wavelength of the operational frequency, which falls within the ultra high frequency (UHF) band (860 MHz to 960 MHz). The design allows the RFID tag to maintain wireless communication functionality in various environments, including air and water.

Further claims expand on the antenna unit's design, introducing additional components such as branch and hook elements, which enhance the tag's functionality. The branch element extends parallel to one of the straight line-shaped conductors, while the hook element connects to the tip of a straight conductor, both having unique electrical lengths. The patent also specifies that the RFID tag can be used with various liquids, including water, oil, and alcohol, or mixtures thereof. Additionally, the patent encompasses a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle that incorporates the RFID tag, as well as an antenna designed for use with the tag, highlighting the versatility and practical applications of this technology in tracking and identifying liquid containers.
