This document summarizes an RFID tag called MAGICSTRAP®. It is very small, measuring just 3.2 x 1.6 mm, which allows it to be placed nearly anywhere. It contains its own antenna and can be read from distances comparable to standard RFID tags even without an external antenna connected. The MAGICSTRAP® uses specialized materials and a 3D multi-layer matching circuit to achieve these compact dimensions and performance. It has received awards for its innovations and excellence as a passive RFID product.
