Abstract: A ground conductor is formed by a conductor pattern placed to a surface of a dielectric substrate, and includes a first and a second opening. A transmission line is formed over the dielectric substrate by the conductor pattern. The transmission line supplies a signal to a first and a second peripheral conductor respectively surrounding the first and the second opening. The first and second opening are arranged axis-symmetrically with respect to the transmission line. Opening areas of the first and the second opening are determined so that, due to loop currents supplied by the transmission line flowing through the first and the second peripheral conductor, a region including the first opening and the first peripheral conductor operates as a magnetic field radiation first loop radiating element, and a region including the second opening and the second peripheral conductor operates as a magnetic field radiation second loop radiating element.

Abstract: A communication circuit is provided with an antenna section, such as a nonresonant antenna, and a matching section which connects with the antenna section and adjusts impedance, for example. The matching section has a transmission line, and the electric length and characteristic impedance of the transmission line are determined based on the frequency or the frequency band in which the antenna section and the transmission line resonate. For example, since it is not necessary to unite resonance frequency with center frequency if it is a nonresonant antenna, it becomes possible to attain the miniaturization of an antenna. Wide band-ization is realizable by changing the characteristic impedance of the transmission line.

This surface treated steel sheet exhibits excellent corrosion resistance and excellent surface appearance without containing hazardous substances, such as hexavalent chromium, in the film.
