Abstract

An induction card with a printed antenna comprises: an upper cover film; an upper middle layer installed below the upper cover film; one or two surfaces of the upper middle layer being coated or printed with an upper patter layer; a pad thick layer installed below the upper middle layer; a hole being formed in the pad thick layer; an antenna coil layer installed below the pad thick layer; a printed antenna coil being formed on the antenna coil layer; a lower middle layer installed below the lower plastic layer; one or two surfaces of the lower middle layer being coated or printed with a lower patter layer; and a lower cover layer installed below the lower middle layer; the lower cover layer being installed with magnetic tape; and the lower cover layer is used as a protecting layer.

Claims (15)

1. An induction card with a printed antenna, comprising:

an upper cover film;

an upper middle layer installed below the upper cover film; one or two surfaces of the upper middle layer being coated or printed with an upper patter layer;

a pad thick layer installed below the upper middle layer; a hole being formed in the pad thick layer;

an antenna coil layer installed below the pad thick layer; a printed antenna coil being formed on the antenna coil layer;

a lower middle layer installed below the lower plastic layer; one or two surfaces of the lower middle layer being coated or printed with a lower patter layer; and

a lower cover layer installed below the lower middle layer; the lower cover layer being installed with magnetic tape; and the lower cover layer is used as a protecting layer.

2. The induction card with a printed antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the induction card has a working frequency between 0˜5.8 GHz; a resistance between 0.01˜150Ω, an inductance between 0.01˜10 μH, a capacitance between 0.01˜10 pF, and a quality factor between 1˜1000.

3. The induction card with a printed antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an upper plastic layer is installed between the upper middle layer and the pad thick layer for enhancing the strength of the signal.

4. The induction card with a printed antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a lower plastic layer is installed between the antenna coil layer and the lower cover layer for enhancing the strength of the transmitting signals.

5. The induction card with a printed antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the printed antenna coil having a plurality of concentric circles and being formed by printing; each circle of the printed antenna coil being spaced from another one so as to form as a receiving antenna.

6. The induction card with a printed antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein two ends of the printed antenna coil are formed as joints corresponding to the position of the chip; an opening is installed between the joints; a chip is placed upon the opening and is electrically connected to the joints; an internal joint extends from one of the joints; the internal joint is connected to an external joint of the printed antenna coil as a jump mechanism.

7. The induction card with a printed antenna as claimed in claim 6 , wherein one way of the jumping is performed by punching, that is, two penetrating holes are formed on the antenna coil layer; conductive material is printed in the walls of the penetrating holes and an area at a back side of the antenna coil layer and between the two penetrating holes so that the two penetrating holes are conductively connected; and thus it is formed with a function of an induction receiving coil so that the data in the chip will be transmitted through the printed antenna coil.

8. The induction card with a printed antenna as claimed in claim 6 , wherein one way of the jumping is performed by installing an insulting rubber layer between the internal joint and the external joint so as to partially cover the printed antenna coil; after the insulting treatment is performed, the conductive material is printed upon the insulting rubber layer so that the internal joint and the external joint are conductive.

9. The induction card with a printed antenna as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a bottom of the lower cover layer is adhered with a magnetic strip.
