    Abstract: Smartcards with metal layers manufactured according to various techniques disclosed herein. One or more metal layers of a smartcard stackup may be provided with slits overlapping at least a portion of a module antenna in an associated transponder chip module disposed in the smartcard so that the metal layer functions as a coupling frame. One or more metal layers may be pre-laminated with plastic layers to form a metal core or clad subassembly for a smartcard, and outer printed and/or overlay plastic layers may be laminated to the front and/or back of the metal core. Front and back overlays may be provided. Various constructions of and manufacturing techniques (including temperature, time, and pressure regimes for laminating) for smartcards are disclosed herein.

    Abstract: A wireless connection is established between at least two electronic modules (M1, M2) disposed separate from one another in a smartcard having a coupling frame so that the two modules may communicate (signals, data) with each other. The two modules may each have module antennas (MA-1, MA-2), and may be disposed in respective two openings (MO-1, MO-2) of a coupling frame (CF). A coupling antenna (CPA) having two coupler coils (CC-1, CC-2) disposed close to the two modules antennas of the two modules. The coupling antenna may have only the two coupler coils (CC-1, CC-2), connected with one another, without the peripheral card antenna (CA) component of a conventional booster antenna (BA). Energy harvesting is disclosed.

    Abstract: Coupling frames comprising a conductive (metal) surface with a slit (S) or non-conductive stripe (NCS) extending from an outer edge to an inner position thereof, and overlapping a transponder device. A coupling frame with slit for coupling with an inductive or capacitive device (inductor or capacitor) may be used at any ISM frequency band to concentrate surface current around the slit. The coupling frame can be tuned to operate at a frequency of interested by introducing a resistive, inductive or capacitive element. The resonance frequency of the coupling frame can be matched to that of the transponder chip module to achieve optimum performance. Coupling frames with or without a transponder device may be integrated, overlapping, stacked or placed adjacent to one another to enhance system performance. Multiple coupling frames may be electrically isolated from one another by the application of a dielectric coating such Diamond Like Carbon (DLC).

    Abstract: RFID devices comprising (i) a transponder chip module (TCM, 1410) having an RFIC chip (IC) and a module antenna (MA), and (ii) a coupling frame (CF) having an electrical discontinuity comprising a slit (S) or non-conductive stripe (NCS). The coupling frame may be disposed closely adjacent the transponder chip module so that the slit overlaps the module antenna. The RFID device may be a payment object such as a jewelry item having a metal component modified with a slit (S) to function as a coupling frame. The coupling frame may be moved (such as rotated) to position the slit to selectively overlap the module antennas (MA) of one or more transponder chip modules (TCM-1, TCM-2) disposed in the payment object, thereby selectively enhancing (including enabling) contactless communication between a given transponder chip module in the payment object and another RFID device such as an external contactless reader. The coupling frame may be tubular. A card body construction for a metal smart card is disclosed.
