    [0001] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The invention relates to close-field magnetic coupling non-contact identification devices, for example of the NFC (Near Field Communication) type, of the ISO type. 14443, or of the ISO 15693 type, and more specifically to a contactless anti-counterfeiting device for guaranteeing the authenticity of the contents of a bottle. BACKGROUND US7898422 discloses an anti-counterfeit NFC device embedded in a wine bottle stopper. The device is arranged so that the insertion of a tirebouchon damages the antenna or the control microcircuit. When the device is intact, it can be interrogated remotely by an NFC reader to read product information, and also to confirm the authenticity of the information. When the cap has been removed, the NFC device is damaged, so that the cap can not be reused to authenticate the contents of a new bottle. This type of device has a complex mechanical structure that can result in an undesirable increase in the cost of the plug.
    [0002] In addition, once the bottle has been opened, the NFC device becomes mute. However, the user may wish to consult the information again, for example to share it with a friend, or visit the producer's website to order new bottles. Summary In general, there is provided a near field magnetic coupling anti-counterfeiting tag including a control microcircuit having a cryptographic function; a sacrificial conductive track arranged across a sacrificial zone of the label; and a continuity detection circuit of the sacrificial track cooperating with the microcircuit to exclude the cryptographic function when the sacrificial track is broken.
    [0003] The microcircuit may be a standard microcircuit comprising a programmable digital input / output pin, the sacrificial track being connected between the input / output pin and a microcircuit supply pin, the microcircuit being programmed to test the state of the microcircuit. the input / output pin before performing operations using the cryptographic function. Alternatively, the tag may comprise an antenna circuit designed to provide a continuity detection function, the sacrificial track being connected in the antenna circuit such that its breaking shifts the tuning frequency of the antenna circuit, the offset of the tuning frequency being chosen so that the power supply received by the microcircuit is lowered to a level insufficient to supply the cryptographic function, but at a level still sufficient to supply other functions of the microcircuit. The tag may include a foldable ribbon substrate; an antenna included in the antenna circuit; a capacitor connected to the antenna circuit; sacrificial impedance; and the sacrificial track arranged on the ribbon for connecting the sacrificial impedance to the antenna circuit. The antenna may comprise turns wound in a ring around a central zone of the ribbon; the sacrificial impedance may be arranged at a first end of the ribbon; and the sacrificial track may comprise a loop extending towards the second end of the ribbon. The tag may comprise several ribbons crossing at the antenna, the sacrificial track forming a loop in each ribbon segment leaving the antenna, except that supporting the sacrificial impedance. The tag may comprise a plurality of ribbons crossing at the antenna, the sacrificial track forming a loop in the ribbon segment opposite that supporting the sacrificial impedance. The ribbon may include breakaway initiation zones between the antenna and the sacrificial impedance. The sacrificial track may comprise two segments arranged on either side of the ribbon, configured as a twisted pair.
    [0004] It is possible to provide a container comprising a plug and a label of the above-mentioned type whose substrate zone carrying the antenna has a diameter smaller than that of the plug, fixed by gluing on the container and the plug so that the antenna is centered on cap.
    [0005] Conductive tracks of the label may be disposed on the side of the ribbon side of the container, whereby an attempt to take off the ribbon causes damage to the conductive tracks. The container may be in the form of a bottle comprising a capsule enclosing the stopper, the neck of the bottle, and the tape, the capsule comprising at the level of the plug a material permeable to the magnetic field. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Embodiments will be set forth in the following description, given without implied limitation in relation to the appended figures, in which: FIG. 1 represents an embodiment of an anti-counterfeiting NFC tag for a bottle; FIG. 2 is an equivalent electrical block diagram of the device of FIG. 1; - Figure 3 illustrates a situation in the device of Figure 1 on a wine bottle; FIG. 4 represents a variant of the device of FIG. 1; Figure 5 shows another embodiment of an anti-counterfeit NFC tag for a bottle; - Figure 6 illustrates a situation in the device of Figure 5 on a bottle of wine; Figure 7 illustrates another embodiment of an anti-counterfeit NFC tag for a bottle; FIG. 8 is an equivalent electrical block diagram of the device of FIG. 7; FIG. 9 represents a variant of the device of FIG. 7; FIG. 10 represents another embodiment of NFC anti-counterfeiting label for a bottle; - Figure 11 shows another embodiment of anti-counterfeiting NFC tag for a bottle; and FIGS. 12 and 13 show a variant of the label of FIG. 11 in two forms that can be industrialized in current technologies. DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Non-contact anti-counterfeiting devices, for example of the NFC type, are proposed below for containers, in particular bottles or flasks, in the form of inexpensive labels to be manufactured. In addition, such a label is designed to allow authentication when it is intact, and a simple reading and transmission of information when it was broken at the opening of the container. Indeed, when the container has been opened, the user may simply wish to reread the information available in the contactless device without performing an authentication. FIG. 1 illustrates a first embodiment of an anti-counterfeiting NFC tag which will be designated by "dual mode". The label is in the form of an insulating material ribbon 10 as a substrate for forming conductive tracks according to standard RFID tag fabrication techniques. One end of the ribbon is enlarged to house an NFC antenna 12 formed of several turns of a conductive track. A microcircuit 14 is disposed in the vicinity of the connection between the ribbon 10 and the antenna 12 and is connected to the terminals of the antenna by a track 12-1 on the same face as the antenna, and a track 12-2 on the opposite side, joining the end of the inner turn of the antenna via a via 16a. A via 16b allows the connection of the microcircuit 14 to the track 12-2. The microcircuit 14 is assembled according to the so-called "flip-chip" technique or by gluing with a conductive glue. The microcircuit integrates the management functions of the NFC device. The device can offer an authentication function, it is of active type, that is to say that the microcircuit integrates a microcontroller and cryptographic functions. The microcircuit then draws its power from the power supplied to the antenna by an NFC reader, which can be a smartphone, a tablet, a watch, etc. equipped with an NFC interface. The tracks 12-1 and 12-2 extend to the opposite end of the ribbon, where they are respectively connected to two conductive surfaces formed on either side of the ribbon. These conductive surfaces opposite form a sacrificial capacitor C1 s. The device is adapted to be attached to a container, for example a bottle, so that the central portion of the ribbon is placed across a closure member 18 of the container, for example a cap. It is desired that the ribbon be broken, also causing the breakage of one of the tracks 12-1 and 12-2, when the bottle is opened, that is to say when the cap 18 is removed. For this, the attachment of the ribbon on the container is designed to have a breaking strength greater than the breaking strength of the ribbon. High bond strength can be obtained by bonding, and the required strength can be ensured by gluing the tape over a sufficient area. The breaking strength of the tape can also be reduced by providing, as shown, rupture primers in the vicinity of the plug. Preferably, these primers are located at the limit of the bonding zone of the ribbon, which causes a concentration of stresses which promotes rupture. The tape may be glued to the container by the face on which the majority of the conductive tracks are formed. Adherence by bonding the tracks to the container is generally higher than the adhesion of the tracks to the tape. As a result, any attempt to take off the label leads to tearing of the conductive tracks, which remain glued to the container. Since the tracks are generally made of aluminum, it makes it difficult to repair the sections cut by soldering or brazing because of the insulating oxide layer that forms on the aluminum as soon as it is exposed to air. FIG. 2 is an equivalent electrical diagram of the device of FIG. 1. The microcircuit 14 comprises a dedicated microcontroller UC which implements the logic and analog functions of the microcircuit, in particular the power supply of the circuit from the field supplied to FIG. the antenna by an NFC reader, the demodulation of signals transmitted by the reader, the modulation of the impedance of the antenna for transmitting signals to the reader, and the generation of secure keys for authenticating the information transmitted.
    [0006] The microcircuit further comprises a capacitor C1 connected to the terminals of the antenna 12. The tracks 12-1 and 12-2 connect the sacrificial capacitor C1 s in parallel to the capacitor C1. The antenna 12 and the capacitors C1 and C1 form an antenna circuit whose tuning frequency is determined by the sum of the values of the capacitors Cl and Cl s, and by the inductance of the antenna. These values are chosen to tune the antenna circuit to a typical nominal frequency chosen for good interoperability between standards-compliant devices, for example 14 MHz. When the sacrificial capacitor C1 is disconnected from the antenna circuit after breaking the ribbon, the antenna circuit is tuned to a frequency shifted above the nominal frequency, for example 17 MHz, defined by the single capacitor Cl. and the inductance of the antenna. As a result, the device can still be powered by the field of a reader, but the transmitted power is lower. To carry out authentication operations, the microcontroller UC microcircuit 14 has cryptographic functions. The microcontroller may comprise a general purpose CPU processor assisted by a CCP cryptographic coprocessor. The mere reading of information stored in the microcircuit and their transmission by the antenna requires little CPU and requires little power. The CCP coprocessor is not used. The consumed current may be less than 1 20 mA. This power level can be provided even by a detuned antenna circuit. A cryptographic operation, on the other hand, solicits the processor CPU and the coprocessor CCP, and can consume a current of several milliamperes. This power level can not be provided if the antenna circuit is too out of tune, even when touching the label with the player. With these elements, knowing that Cl + Cl s is the value required to obtain an antenna circuit tuned to the nominal frequency, the value Cl is chosen so that, in the absence of the capacitor Cl s, the antenna circuit is granted enough to produce the current required for simple reading and transmission of information, but not enough to produce the current required by a cryptographic operation. In an example where the nominal frequency is 14 MHz, this desired operation is obtained when the offset tuning frequency is chosen to be close to 17 MHz in a given technology.
    [0007] The microcircuit can then be programmed to start systematically by producing the information and ending with the cryptographic operations. The breaking of the ribbon disconnects the capacitor Cls of the antenna circuit, which causes the tuning shift of the antenna circuit. In this case, at the moment when the microcircuit starts the cryptographic operations, the supply voltage collapses causing the reset of the microcircuit. The microcircuit restarts and starts the same cycle again. FIG. 3 represents an exemplary simulation of an anti-counterfeiting NFC tag of the type of FIG. 1 on a bottle of wine 30. (For the clarity of the figure, the spaces between elements have been enlarged in an exaggerated manner.) cap 18 is flush with the upper part of the neck of the bottle. The central portion of the ribbon 10 horizontally covers the cap 18. The ends of the ribbon are folded down vertically to fit the flanks of the neck, and are fixed to the neck by a layer of glue 34. The ribbon can be sufficiently flexible to allow folding at the upper part of the neck and marry the radius of the neck. In this case, the antenna is preferably flat. A bottle of wine is generally provided with a protective cap 32 which surrounds the cap and the upper part of the neck. As shown, the capsule can also wrap the ribbon 10. In this case, since the capsule is often metallic, it is preferable that the antenna 12 is outside the capsule to be exposed to the electromagnetic fields. The length of the ribbon 10 is chosen accordingly. The NFC tag thus arranged can be read by a consumer using his NFC smartphone or any other NFC reader. It may in particular, when the label is integrity, proceed to an authentication using a secure key available in the label, used to confirm that the product conforms to the information provided by the label via a server of authentication and a dedicated application. He may also, using the same application or a generic application, consult the characteristics of the product, even when the anti-counterfeiting label has been broken, including the type of information that may appear on a paper label of the bottle. Several bottles of the same lot may have labels sharing the same identifier or key. The tracks 12-1, 12-2 of FIG. 1 can be relatively long and form parasitic antennas that pick up unwanted electromagnetic fields. In the case where the ribbon 10 is wrapped in a metal capsule (Figure 3), the capsule protects these elements from magnetic fields. In other situations, the capsule may be transparent to the fields, or absent. Figure 4 illustrates a variant of the label of Figure 1, less sensitive to parasitic fields. The pair of tracks 12-1, 12-2 is configured to form a twisted pair. For this, for example, the tracks 12-1 and 12-2 are not "twisted" strictly speaking, but crenellated in opposition of phase. Some wine lovers may wish to keep the cork, on which are inscribed the main information relating to wine. In this case, it would be convenient for the cap to retain the active portion of the NFC tag so that the hobbyist can obtain further information on the wine by reading the information contained in the tag, for example using from his smartphone. Figure 5 shows an embodiment of anti-counterfeit label dedicated to this use. The NFC tag is designed so that its active part, namely the antenna 12 and the microcircuit 14, remains fixed on the upper part of the plug, and that this active part allows a reading of information without authentication once the cap was extracted. The label here comprises a substrate in the form of two ribbons 10a and 10b crossed. The antenna 12 is arranged at the intersection of the two ribbons, and comprises turns 20 wound in a ring around a central zone large enough to allow the passage of a corkscrew without damaging the antenna. As shown, the central zone of the substrate may include an opening 50 to facilitate the passage of the tirebouchon and limit the deformation of the substrate. The outer diameters of the antenna 12 and the annular zone of the substrate which supports it are at most equal to the diameter of the plug. The ribbon segments or wings extending radially from the antenna are designed to separate from the central zone at the extraction of the plug, and may comprise for this purpose rupture primers 20 in the vicinity of the outer diameter of the annular zone carrying the plug. 'antenna. The microcircuit 14 and its connection tracks to the antenna circuit are arranged inside the annular zone of the substrate so as not to remain on the ribbon segments when the plug is removed. The sacrificial capacitor Cl s is arranged at the distal end of one of the wings, here the right wing forming part of the ribbon 10a.
    [0008] This structure is similar to that of Figure 1 considering the antenna and the right wing carrying the sacrificial capacitor C 1 s. The extra wings make it more difficult to access the cap without breaking the label. As shown, the track 12-1 can form a loop in each of the three additional wings before joining the corresponding terminal of the microcircuit 14, so that the track is severed at the break of any of the wings. FIG. 6 represents an exemplary simulation of an anti-counterfeiting NFC tag of the type of FIG. 5 on a bottle of wine 30. (For the clarity of the figure, the spaces between elements have been enlarged in an exaggerated manner.) cap 18 is flush with the top of the neck of the bottle or is slightly set back. The central annular portion of the substrate carrying the antenna 12 is fitted on the upper face of the plug 18 and is fixed thereto by a layer of adhesive 36. The flanges of the strips 10a, 10b are folded down vertically to fit the flanks of the neck, and are fixed on the neck by a layer of glue 34.
    [0009] To open the bottle, a corkscrew can be introduced through the central opening 50 of the label, without damaging the antenna 12. The extraction of the plug 18 causes the rupture of the wings, and therefore the removal of the sacrificial capacitor Cl s of the antenna circuit. The active part of the label, without the sacrificial capacitor Cl s, remains fixed on the upper face of the plug. This active part remains operational for a simple reading of information, but not to carry out an authentication. Authentication is only possible if the label is intact, that is to say fixed on a non-open bottle. A protective cap 32 generally surrounds the upper part of the neck, including the flanges of the ribbons 10a, 10b. If the capsule is metallic, it preferably comprises a portion 32-1 facing the antenna, shown in gray, which is permeable to the magnetic field. In order to promote the passage of field lines at the periphery of the antenna, the portion 32-1 preferably has a diameter greater than that of the antenna. It is thus noted that this embodiment offers a discrete NFC tag, which does not affect the appearance of the bottle, which could wish some producers or manufacturers. The label of Figure 5 has been shown by way of example in the form of two crossed ribbons 10a and 10b forming four radial wings. The number of wings can be any, but preferably at least two. All the wings do not necessarily include conductive tracks - thus one can provide a label with a first pair of opposed wings with tracks, and a second pair of opposing wings without tracks. The number of wings can be odd. The anti-counterfeiting NFC tags of Figures 1 and 5 are effective in identifying bottles that have been uncorked and potentially refilled with a product of questionable origin. However, they do not make it possible to detect the removal or the replacement of contents by means of a syringe, for example according to the CoravinTM process which involves piercing the stopper with the aid of a syringe and sucking up the contents by injecting an inert gas in the bottle. Such a technique would leave the label intact.
    [0010] Fig. 7 illustrates an embodiment of an NFC tag for detecting an attempt to pierce the plug. The label is here made on a substrate of the same cross-shaped form as the label of FIG. 5. The central part housing the antenna 12, however, has a diameter greater than that of the plug. The antenna 12 is wound in a ring in the zone between the edge of the neck and the plug, thus leaving a central space of the diameter of the plug, central space forming an area of interest to be protected. This central space is used to form a sacrificial capacitor C2s. The capacitor C2s is formed by two metal faces facing one formed on the upper face of the substrate (greyed) and the other on the underside of the substrate (black). The ranges have not been represented to the same dimensions to distinguish them in the figure - in practice they are the same dimensions and fill as much as possible the area of interest corresponding to the upper face of the cap. The microcircuit 14 is preferably also arranged in this zone. The antenna 12 and the sacrificial capacitor C2s are connected in series in this embodiment. The lower range of the capacitor (in black) is connected directly to a first terminal of the microcircuit 14. A conductive track 70 starts from the upper range of the capacitor (in gray) and comprises a loop penetrating into each segment of ribbon or wing starting radially from the central area. The last loop passes through the substrate via a via 72 and joins the outer end of the antenna 12. The inner end of the antenna is connected to the second terminal of the microcircuit 14.
    [0011] A label of the type of FIG. 7 may be mounted on a bottle as shown in FIG. 6. The central zone of the label may be glued over its entire surface on the cap. Any attempt to access the cap then results in the drilling of the two metal pads of the sacrificial capacitor C2s. During drilling, the plastic substrate between the two metal pads compresses permanently, while the metal of the upper deck stretches, following the movement of the piercing object (a needle or a corkscrew) , to reach the lower beach. The lower range, because it is retained by a layer of glue, generally harder than the substrate, deforms less than the upper range. This results in a crimping of the deformed zone of the upper range in the lower range, and thus the two capacitor ranges are found in permanent short circuit, even at the extraction of the piercing object. This short-circuit also occurs if the capacitor pads are made of aluminum, since this aluminum is used in the manufacture in an inert atmosphere preventing the formation of oxide, and the zones in contact with the two pads remain devoid of oxide because they are protected by the substrate. This short circuit of the sacrificial capacitor C2s is used to detune the antenna circuit so that the NFC device operates in degraded mode, that is to say, it offers the reading functions, but not the cryptographic functions. Extraction of the plug further causes the rupture of the wings and therefore of the conductive track 70. This break disconnects the antenna 12 of the microcircuit, so that the NFC device becomes inoperative. The label is then silent. FIG. 8 is an equivalent electrical diagram of the device of FIG. 7. As previously indicated, the sacrificial capacitor C2s and the antenna 12 are connected in series between the two terminals of the microcircuit 14. The antenna circuit thus comprises the capacitor C1 of the microcircuit connected in series with the capacitor C2s and the inductance of the antenna 12. When the capacitor C2s is short-circuited, the antenna 12 is directly connected to the terminals of the capacitor C1. In these two configurations, the component values are chosen to reach agreement on the desired nominal frequency when capacitor C2s is integral, and a mismatch placing the device in degraded mode when capacitor C2s is bypassed. The value of the sacrificial capacitor C2s is determined by the diameter of the plug and the thickness of the substrate. With a 38 μm PET substrate typically used for RFID applications and the diameter of a wine stopper (21 mm), a capacity of the order of 116 pF is obtained. By providing nine antenna turns and a value of 104 pF for the capacitor C1, a tuning frequency of the order of 15 MHz, which is sufficiently close to the desired nominal frequency of 14 MHz, to obtain all the functions is obtained. (reading and cryptography). When the capacitor C2s is short-circuited, a tuning frequency of about 11 MHz is obtained, just sufficient to perform the reading functions. FIG. 9 shows an NFC tag embodiment allowing detection of a drill attempt in the same format as the tag of FIG. 1, i.e. with an antenna 12 offset at one end of the ribbon . The central zone of the ribbon intended to cover the plug 18 carries the metal zones forming the sacrificial capacitor C2s. The microcircuit 14 is connected in series in the track 12-1 passing through the ribbon. This track is also connected to the upper metal pad of capacitor C2s after looping to the distal end of the ribbon. The lower metal range of the capacitor is connected to the track 12-2. This embodiment offers a greater latitude to realize the antenna 12 than the embodiment of Figure 7, and allows to cover the entire plug with metal pads. It is, however, less suitable in the case where it is desired to hide the label entirely under the capsule. FIG. 10 illustrates a variant close to the label of FIG. 1, which also allows detection of a drilling attempt. In contrast to the label of FIG. 1, one of the connection tracks of the sacrificial capacitor Cls, here track 12-1 presents, in the area of interest to be protected, a configuration in narrowed crenels occupying the entire surface. from this area. The pitch of the slots is preferably smaller than the diameter of the piercing needle, so that insertion of the needle breaks the track in at least one location. If the track 12-1 can not be configured with a sufficiently small pitch, the second track 12-2, on the other side of the substrate, can be configured according to complementary slots, interleaving the segments of the track 12-2 with the segments of track 12-1, which virtually divides the pace by two. This tag operates in degraded mode, allowing only the reading of information, both when the cap is removed (breaking the tracks 12-1 and 12-2 when the ribbon breaks), than when the cap is pierced (breaking a track segment in the area to be protected). The configuration of FIG. 10 can be transposed to the star configuration of FIG. 5 or 7 if a discrete label is desired and can remain on the extracted plug for reading the information. Many variations and modifications of the embodiments described herein will be apparent to those skilled in the art. To achieve a controlled mismatch of the antenna circuit at break of the ribbon, a sacrificial capacitor (C1 s, C2s) has been described as a preferred embodiment - it is of course possible to use equivalent techniques leading to a circuit mismatch. antenna, for example by providing a sacrificial inductor or other sacrificial impedance in place of the sacrificial capacitor. Mastering the values of the components of the antenna circuit to obtain the desired detuning, that is to say, in the event of rupture of the label to sufficiently feed the reading functions but insufficiently cryptographic functions, can be difficult under certain conditions. A feature of the dual mode devices described so far, however, is that they can use a turnkey microcircuit 14 with only two undifferentiated pins, which in some circumstances could simplify industrialization processes and reduce costs. Inside Secure Corporation markets NFC device management microcircuits, Vau1tICTM 152, which have five pins - two pins to connect the antenna, a GND ground pin, an IO programmable digital input / output pin, and a VCC pin can be used to power the microcircuit from a battery, or to supply other elements from the energy supplied to the antenna. Such a microcircuit can be used in a dual mode label structure having less constraints in obtaining the two modes of operation in a large-scale industrialization. Figure 11 schematically illustrates such an NFC tag structure, offering full functionality when it is intact, and restricted functionality without cryptography when it has been broken. The microcircuit 14 thus comprises five pins, two of which are connected to the antenna 12 in a configuration similar to that of FIG. 1. The conductive tracks 12-1 and 12-2 of the preceding figures, here denoted 12'-1 and 12 -2, are separated from the tracks of the antenna 12 and are respectively connected to one of the supply pins, for example the ground pin GND, and to the input / output pin IO of the microcircuit 14. 12'-1 and 12'-2 tracks may be on the same side of the ribbon 10 and are connected to each other at the distal end of the ribbon to form a loop which passes through the sacrificial zone, corresponding for example to the location of the plug 18. In some microcircuits of the VaultIC type, the input / output pin IO is pulled towards the supply line VCC by a resistor, so that its logic level is high when it is not connected. . In the configuration of FIG. 11, the IO pin is kept at a low logic level by the 12'-1, 12'-2 loop. When the loop is broken, the IO pin level becomes high. Thus, the microcircuit 14 can be programmed to test the level of the IO pin at each reading. When the level is low, that is to say when the label is intact, the program of the microcircuit can be designed to roll out all the planned operations, including the production of information in the clear and the execution of an authentication operation using cryptography. When the level is high, that is to say when the loop 12'-1, 12'-2 is open, the microcircuit program can be designed to produce the information in the clear but omit the authentication operation.
    [0012] One of the tracks 12'-1, 12'-2 can be crenellated as in Figure 10, the other being then disposed on the other side of the ribbon. This makes it possible to detect the breaking of the ribbon, by removing the label or by piercing the plug, to omit the authentication step. Figure 12 shows a variant of the label of Figure 11. The antenna 12 is arranged in the center of the ribbon so as to be centered on the cap once the label is in place on the neck of a bottle. The microcircuit 14 is disposed inside the antenna coil. The two wings on either side of the antenna are traversed by the loop 12'-1, 12'-2, so that the rupture of only one of the wings is enough to interrupt the loop. Each of the wings comprises, on each of its edges near the central portion, several transverse notches 20 'serving as a breakout primer. Such a label may be attached to the bottle only by its wings. When the bottle is opened, the wings will be broken when the user cuts and removes the cap that covers the cap and the label. The central part of the label remains usable without the authentication function to share the information it contains. This figure 12 corresponds to an operational prototype made in a technology with aluminum tracks. The diameter of the central part of the label is 25 mm, the diameter of the neck of a bottle of wine. This technology, in its current state, requires relatively large vias which can occupy a large part of the central zone of the antenna, which can make it difficult to produce labels according to FIGS. 5 and 7, requiring a free zone at center of the antenna.
    [0013] Figure 13 shows a prototype tag of the type of Figure 12 made in a technology with copper tracks. This technology makes it possible to make tracks and vias with a finer pitch than the aluminum technology, so that an extended central zone can be released allowing easy realization of labels of the type of FIGS. 5 and 7. remote antenna (in particular those of FIGS. 1 and 11) can also be used on metal containers or closure elements, by providing the underside of the label at the level of the antenna with a layer of electromagnetic insulation, such as ferrite.10
