  • Patent number: 8537055
    Abstract: A portable electronic device and a magnetic field antenna circuit are provided for making it possible to keep an antenna resonance frequency in a fixed range even if temperature changes. A mobile telephone device (1) is provided with a second communication unit driven by a chargeable battery (43) to execute a predetermined function and an RFID unit (41) accompanied with magnetic communication. The RFID unit (41) includes a magnetic antenna unit (50), which can transmit or receive a wireless signal by a magnetic field, and a capacitor (52), one terminal of which is connected with the magnetic antenna unit (50) to generate a predetermined resonance frequency. The capacitor (52) is characterized in having a temperature-reactance characteristic reverse to an amount of an inductance value that fluctuates as the magnetic antenna unit (50) changes in accordance with temperatures.

  • Patent number: 8489109
    Abstract: A mobile wireless device enables effective use of space in a case while reducing degradation of antenna gain and maintaining communication quality even if a plurality of antennas having different frequency bands are arranged close to one another. A magnetic antenna has a first switch unit, a second switch unit, and a concentrated constant circuit which are added to a wiring pattern at the side near to a main antenna, so that a first path and a second path can be selected. Under a predetermined condition, a CPU controls the first switch and the second switch to electrically connect terminal (A1) to terminal (B1) and electrically connect terminal (A2) to terminal (B2), thereby forming the first path; and electrically connect terminal (A1) to terminal (C1) and electrically connect terminal (A2) to terminal (C2), thereby forming the second path connected via the concentrated constant circuit.
