ABSTRACT:
An arrangement is disclosed for coupling electrical energy into and/or out of a surface acoustic wave (SAW) device, such as a transponder. The SAW device has two input/output terminals electrically connected to at least one transducer for converting between electrical energy and SAW energy. Such transducer presents to the terminals a prescribed capacitance in the frequency range of operation. An inductive loop, formed by at least one turn of an electrical conductor, is connected to the two input/output terminals of the SAW device. The inductance of the loop is made substantially equal to the prescribed capacitance at the frequency range of operation, thus forming a resonant circuit with the SAW device. The loop also forms a protective DC short circuit across the two terminals, preventing build-up of static electricity. The inductive loop is inductively coupled to an antenna capable of receiving and/or transmitting radiation in the frequency range of operation.
