ABSTRACT:
A ring antenna (10) for resonant circuits for identifying metallic containers has an annular core (11) having at least one core surface (11a') corresponding to at least one surface of the container and made from ferrite. The core may be U-shaped, having a base portion and a first and second arm portions, or L-shaped, having a base portion and a first arm portion (11a). The antenna (10) also has a copper wire coil (12) wound around a first portion of the core; and an aluminum shield (13) affixed to the at least one core surface (11b') and separating the core from the surface of the container. Further, a interrogation system for identifying metallic containers includes the ring antenna (10) coupled to a resonant circuit (86) included in a transponder or a reader.
