Components manufacturer Murata has announced that it has reduced the thickness of its rfid modules by half.
 The reduction in size of its Magicstrap module means that it is suitable for paper label inlays for mainstream retail applications. The device is 1.6 x 1.0 x 0.25mm and Murata says its volume has been reduced by 89% compared to the first generation module.
Magicstrap rfid modules can be mounted using ordinary adhesive onto a number of conductive surface to act as the antenna. This allows users with only a minimal knowledge of rf electronics, to work with them. Each module comprises Murata's low temperature co-fired ceramic substrate and has embedded rf circuitry such as antenna filters, matching circuitry and 10kV esd protection within the substrate of the module.
According to Murata, the module's embedded wideband antenna matching circuit allows Magicstrap to be readable over the band 860-960MHz at a distance of up to 5m.
