RFID tag and manufacturing method thereof
An RFID tag having a tag antenna and an LSI chip, comprising: a power-supply pattern on which the LSI chip is mounted; a patch antenna that functions as the tag antenna; and a high-frequency connection section that makes a high-frequency connection between the power-supply pattern and the patch antenna. The high-frequency connection section is formed, for example, by forming a slot in the patch antenna, layering one end of a small dipole antenna that functions as the power-supply pattern over the slot so that it crosses over the slot, and supplying power from the small dipole antenna to the patch antenna.
1. A tag having a tag antenna and an LSI chip, comprising:
a power-supply pattern ( 63 ) on which the LSI chip ( 64 ) is mounted;
a patch antenna ( 62 ) that functions as the tag antenna and does not have a DC connection to the power-supply pattern; and
a high-frequency connection section ( 62 a ) that makes the patch antenna couple to the power-supply pattern electromagnetically, wherein
the power-supply pattern, the patch antenna and the high-frequency connection section are formed on a surface of a double-sided print board ( 61 ), and
the power-supply pattern comprises a loop pattern and high-frequency connection section ( 62 a ) is formed by forming a shallow cutout section at a side end section of the patch antenna, and wherein only a part of the loop pattern is located in the cutout section.
