1. A RFID (radio frequency identification) tag for transmitting information recorded in an IC chip by radio communication, comprising:
an inlet including the IC chip mounted on a small antenna formed with a slit for impedance matching; and
a second antenna implemented by a space pattern formed in a metal foil, the space pattern including an aperture through the metal foil,
wherein as a result of forming the space pattern including the aperture, a protrusion is formed on a resin sheet, and
wherein the inlet is mounted on a surface of the second antenna, and the small antenna and the second antenna are electrostatically coupled to each other.
