Abstract

An RFID tag, including: a base; an antenna pattern that is provided on the base to form a communication antenna and has a tapered connection end portion which provides a connection terminal to the antenna; an electric conductor that is attached onto the connection end portion of the antenna pattern and is smaller than the connection end portion; and a circuit chip that is electrically connected to the antenna pattern via the electric conductor and performs radio communication by use of the antenna.

Claims

1. An RFID tag, comprising:

a base;

an antenna pattern that is provided on the base to form a communication antenna and has a semicircular connection end portion which provides a connection terminal to the antenna;

an electric conductor that is attached onto the connection end portion of the antenna pattern and is smaller than the connection end portion; and

a circuit chip that is electrically connected to the antenna pattern via the electric conductor and performs radio communication by use of the antenna.

2. The RFID tag according to claim 1, wherein the antenna pattern has an inductance generation portion that generates an inductance suited to a capacitance between the connection end portion and the circuit chip and prevents performance deterioration of the antenna due to the capacitance.

3. The RFID tag according to claim 1, wherein a parasitic capacity, which occurs in an overlapping portion where the circuit chip and the connection end portion of the antenna pattern overlap each other, is proportional to the area of the overlapping portion and inversely proportional to a gap between the circuit chip and the connection end portion of the antenna pattern.
