The interrogator device 800 may be manufactured in any of the ways described herein. For example, in some embodiments, the interrogator device 800 may comprise a substrate (e.g., a printed circuit board) having the transmit antenna 114 and the receive antenna 116 fabricated thereon, and a semiconductor die mounted to the substrate, coupled to the transmit and receive antennas, and having transmit and receive circuitry 112a fabricated thereon. In such embodiments, the transmit and receive circuitry 112a may be integrated circuitry monolithically integrated with the semiconductor die. In some embodiments, the semiconductor die may be flip-chip bonded to the substrate. In some embodiments, the substrate may comprise a printed circuit board having at least one conductive layer, and the transmit antenna 114 and the receive antenna 116 may be fabricated on the substrate by patterning the at least one conductive layer. Although, in some embodiments, one or more portions of the interrogator device (e.g., transmit and receive circuitry 112a) may be part of integrated circuitry fabricated on a semiconductor die, in other embodiments, the same portion(s) may be realized as discrete components on the substrate (e.g., as discrete components mounted on a PCB substrate).
