A method for producing a radio frequency transmitting/receiving element comprising at least one radio frequency antenna and at least one radio frequency chip, and to a corresponding radio frequency transmitting/receiving element made by the method. The method comprises the following steps: providing a temporary rigid carrier; applying a conductor pattern structure comprising the antenna structure of the at least one radio frequency antenna and connection contacts—connected thereto via leads—for the at least one radio frequency chip; arranging the at least one radio frequency chip on the connection contacts of the conductor pattern structure; applying an electrically insulating layer on the conductor pattern structure, such that the at least one radio frequency chip is surrounded by the electrically insulating layer; and removing the temporary rigid carrier.
