Radio frequency identification tag and commodity
First Claim
1. A radio frequency identification tag comprising:
- a substrate;
an antenna provided at said substrate, said antenna formed by winding a conductor in a coil pattern around, and on a plane orthogonal to, a center axis of said substrate, said center axis extending in a direction parallel to the thickness direction of said substrate;
a radio frequency identification chip attached to said substrate and operative to perform radiocommunication with a reader/writer apparatus through said antenna; and
a package sealing said substrate and said antenna as well as said radio frequency identification chip therein, wherein a mark for specifying said center axis is formed on an outside surface where said package is exposed to the outside.
