An antenna for an RFID tag includes each power feeding parts 11 that is
formed of a conductor, meandering parts 13a and 13b that are formed of
conductors shaped as a pair of meandering lines, connected to the power
feeding parts 11, and extend from the power feeding parts 11 toward both
ends of the power feeding parts 11, respectively, a pair of radiating
parts 14a and 14b that are formed of conductors and connected to outer
ends of the pair of meandering parts 13a and 13b, respectively. The
meandering parts 13a and 13b include a plurality of sides arranged in a
longitudinal direction where the meandering parts 13a and 13b extend.
Further, the lengths of portions, where the ends of the radiating parts
14a and 14b facing the meandering parts 13a and 13b face the sides
closest to the radiating parts 14a and 14b among the plurality of sides
of the meandering parts 13a and 13b in a direction orthogonal to the
longitudinal direction, are smaller than the widths of the widest
portions of the radiating parts.
