1. A folded dipole antenna comprising:
a first dipole portion having a feeding portion; and
a second dipole portion having ends connected to ends of the first dipole portion to form a slot portion; wherein
a length, in a longitudinal direction of the slot portion, of the first and the second dipole portions being λ/2 in an RFID frequency bandwidth, and a total sum (W1+W2) of a width (W1) of the first dipole portion and a width (W2) of the second dipole portion in the perpendicular direction to the longitudinal direction of the slot portion being about W1+W2=λ/20 for generating a linearly-polarized wave in the perpendicular direction to the slot portion, when a RFID chip is mounted on the feeding portion.
