Abstract
The IC tag comprises a three-dimensional antenna and an integrated circuit. The three-dimensional antenna is configured in such a manner that a plurality of planar antennas, each capable of performing emission and reception of radio waves by itself, are arranged at angles so as to be not parallel to each other. The integrated circuit is also connected to the three-dimensional antenna and performs transmission or reception of a signal via the three-dimensional antenna.
