Abstract
An RFID tag is attached to a metal member including a slit, the RFID tag including conductive members attached to a surface of the metal member at corresponding sides of the slit in a width direction of the slit through an isolator; and an IC chip that receives power through the conductive members. When a frequency of radio waves is f, the power induced between the sides the slit is Wa, voltage induced between the sides of the slit is V, an area of each of the conductive members is S, thickness of the isolator is d, a dielectric constant of the isolator is ∈, a dielectric constant of vacuum is ∈, and a minimum value of the power required for the IC chip to operate is Wmin, an inequality Wmin≦Wa−4πf·S·∈·∈·V/d is satisfied.
