applied to any object particularly optical or magneto optical data carriers application_number US 51243605 A description it is thus an object of the invention to make available a label for the wireless identification of an object provided with same effected by electromagnetic radiation which is as free as possible from disturbing interactions with the object it is a label with at least one antenna for the reception of an incoming electromagnetic signal the invention achieves this object by providing the labels with means which reduce the influence of stray capacitances caused by the object on the resonance characteristics of the label surprisingly it turns out that the disturbances caused by the objects to be identified stem in most cases from the occurrence of so called capacitive couplings between the resonant circuit of the label and the object this occurs particularly when the object has metallic elements these capacitive couplings result in a shift of the characteristic frequency of the resonant circuit or of the entire absorption behavior of the label which is to say that a so called u201c detuning u201d takes place this detrimental shifting of the absorption behavior can be decreased or even eliminated in an astonishingly simple and efficient manner by shielding these stray capacitances of the object from the label thus minimizing their influence of course the type strength and characteristics of the stray capacitances depend on the frequency used as a rule the higher the frequency the more dramatic becomes the influence of stray capacitances in view of that it can be seen according to one of the first.
