A method for manufacturing wireless communication devices for use in tracking or identifying items comprises cutting techniques that allow the size of antenna elements for the wireless communication device to be adjusted. Rollers cut tabs that form the antenna elements. In one embodiment, a plurality of rollers are used, each one effecting a different cut whose position may be adjusted so as to shorten or lengthen the antenna element. In another embodiment, the rollers are independently positionable to shorten or lengthen the antenna element. A radiator may be configured to assess a capacitance of the antenna elements prior to cutting to determine an appropriate size for the antenna elements.

1. An apparatus for forming a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of rollers configured to receive a production line, wherein the plurality of rollers includes three rollers, and wherein each roller is configured to make a cut on the production line to cut a pair of antenna elements;means for cutting an antenna element from the production line; andmeans for securing a wireless communication chip to both the antenna element and a substrate to form the wireless communication device. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the means for cutting an antenna element from the production line comprises means for cutting a hole through the backing, around the wireless communication chip, and through the antenna element. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a radiator configured to assess a capacitance of the antenna element prior to cutting to determine an appropriate size for the antenna element that is cut by the means for cutting. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a first of the three rollers is configured to make a cut that forms an interior portion of the pair of antenna elements. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein a second of the three rollers is configured to make a cut that forms an exterior portion of one of the pair of antenna elements. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein a third of the three rollers is configured to make a cut that forms an exterior portion of the other of the pair of antenna elements. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein a phase of one or more of the three rollers is adjustable to selectively vary the size of the antenna elements. 8. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the means for securing a wireless communication chip comprises an adhesive. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising means for cutting fingers into the antenna element, wherein the means for securing a wireless communication chip comprises a hot gas jet configured to heat pins of the wireless communication chip prior to insertion of the chip into the substrate with the fingers of the antenna element in contact with the heated pins. 10. An apparatus for forming a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising: means for adjustably cutting a first tab for use as a first antenna element;means for adjustably cutting a second tab for use as a second antenna element; andmeans for securing the first and second tabs to both a wireless communication chip and a substrate, thereby forming the wireless communication device;wherein the means for adjustably cutting the first and second tabs includes three rollers, and wherein each roller is configured to make a cut on a production line. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the means for adjustably cutting the first and second tabs comprises means for cutting the backing material around the chip and through the tabs. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, further comprising a radiator configured to assess the capacitance of the first and second tabs prior to cutting to determine an appropriate size for the cut made by the means for cutting. 13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein a first of the three rollers is configured to make a cut that forms an interior portion of the first and second antenna elements. 14. The apparatus of claim 13, wherein a second of the three rollers is configured to make a cut that forms an exterior portion of one of the first and second antenna elements. 15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein a third of the three rollers is configured to make a cut that forms an exterior potion of the other of the first and second antenna elements. 16. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein a phase of one or more of the three rollers is adjustable to selectively vary the size of the first and second antenna elements. 17. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the means for securing the first and second tabs comprises an adhesive. 18. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the means for securing the first and second tabs comprises a hot gas jet configured to heat pins of the wireless communication chip prior to coupling to fingers cut into the first and second tabs. 19. An apparatus for forming a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising: a plurality of rollers configured to receive a production line;means for cutting an antenna element from the production line;means for securing a wireless communication chip to both the antenna element and a substrate to form the wireless communication device; andmeans for cutting fingers into the antenna element;wherein the means for securing a wireless communication chip includes means for heating pins of the wireless communication chip prior to insertion of the chip into the substrate with the fingers of the antenna element in contact with the heated pins. 20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the plurality of rollers comprises two independently-positionable rollers. 21. The apparatus of claim 20, wherein the two independently-positionable rollers are configured to receive a production line comprising a backing material having the antenna element and the wireless communication chip disposed thereon. 22. An apparatus for forming a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising: means for adjustably cutting a first tab for use as a first antenna element;means for adjustably cutting a second tab for use as a second antenna element; andmeans for securing the first and second tabs to both wireless communication chip and a substrate, thereby forming the wireless communication device;wherein the means for adjustably cutting the first and second tabs includes at least two independently-positionable rollers; andwherein the means for adjustably cutting the first and second tabs comprises means for cutting the backing material around the chip and through the tabs. 23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein the two independently-positionable rollers are configured to receive a production line comprising a backing material having the first and second tabs and the wireless communication chip disposed thereon. 24. An apparatus for forming a wireless communication device, the apparatus comprising: means for adjustably cutting a first tab for use as a first antenna element;means for adjustably cutting a second tab for use as a second antenna element; andmeans for securing the first and second tabs to both a wireless communication chip and a substrate, thereby forming the wireless communication device;wherein the means for securing the first and second tabs includes means for heating pins of the wireless communication chip prior to coupling to fingers cut into the first and second tabs. 25. The apparatus of claim 24, wherein the means for adjustably cutting the first and second tabs comprises at least two independently-positionable rollers.
