Abstract
Devices and methods for Verification of Activation for Activatable RFID tags Using Activatable Inlays are disclosed herein. An example includes a radiofrequency (RF) tag, including an antenna, an integrated circuit, an activation circuit connecting the integrated circuit to the antenna. The integrated circuit is configured, responsive to the RF tag being interrogated by an interrogation signal in a predetermined radiofrequency range which is received by the antenna, to cause the antenna to emit a response signal when the activation circuit is closed but not emit a response signal when the activation circuit is open. The RF tag further includes an activation indicator component forming at least a portion of the activation circuit, the activation indicator component having a component conductive state and a component nonconductive state, such that the activation circuit is closed when the activation indicator component is in the component conductive state and the activation circuit is open when the activation indicator component is in the component nonconductive state.
