Provided are a Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA), a Radio Frequency
Identification (RFID) tag using the PIFA. The present invention
miniaturizes the antenna by using a meander line extended from a
radiating edge of a radiation antenna and adjusting a resonant frequency
of the antenna, and it performs impedance matching by adjusting
capacitive reactance of the antenna. Also, it can perform impedance
matching by using a stub having a slot formed therein and adjusting
inductive reactance and capacitive reactance of the antenna. The present
invention miniaturizes the antenna by using a plurality of shorting
plates for shorting the radiation patch from a grounding surface and
adjusting the resonant frequency of the antenna. The present invention
also provides an inexpensive PIFA antenna with an excellent radiation
efficiency by forming the radiation patch in the form of metal sheet in
the antenna and floating the radiation patch in the air.
