12. A radio frequency identification tag comprising:
an antenna including a conductor pattern in a form of dipole, and connected to an integrated circuit chip of the radio frequency identification tag;
a first adjusting portion including a plurality of folding points at which the conductor pattern is folded;
a second adjusting portion including an adjusting pattern having an inductance component corresponding to a length of the adjusting pattern, and connected to the integrated circuit chip in parallel with the antenna;
a first marking portion at which instructions for an adjusting operation using the first adjusting portion are indicated; and
a second marking portion at which instructions for an adjusting operation using the second adjusting portion are indicated, wherein
gain of the antenna is changed by changing the folding points, and inductance of the antenna is changed by changing the length of the adjusting pattern, wherein changing the inductance of the antenna adjusts an imaginary portion of an impedance of the antenna.
