Abstract: Provided is a loop antenna array that can easily create a magnetic field distribution which enables the boundary of a communication area to be clearly set. 2n loop antennae are provided adjacently to one another, where n is a natural number. The directions of currents in adjacent ones of the loop antennae are opposite to each other. For example, in a loop antenna array, two loop antennae are disposed adjacently to each other on an insulator substrate. First feed points energize one loop antenna and second feed points energize the other loop antenna.

Abstract: A loop antenna array capable of forming a clear boundary of a communication area is provided. The loop antenna array includes three loop antennas, in which a direction of a current flowing through the loop antenna arranged in the middle and a direction of a current flowing through each of the loop antennas arranged on both sides of the loop antenna arranged in the middle are opposite from each other, and the sum of magnetic moments of the three loop antennas is zero.

Abstract: A loop antenna array that can form a linear and clear communication area boundary is provided. The loop antenna array includes two loop antennas. Currents flow through the loop antennas in opposite directions from each other. In other words, viewing in a direction passing through each of the loop antennas, at a timing when a positive voltage is applied to a signal terminal of an alternating-current source, a clockwise current flows through one loop antenna while a counterclockwise current flows through the other loop antenna. Conversely, at a timing when a negative voltage is applied to the signal terminal of the alternating-current source, a counterclockwise current flows through one loop antenna while a clockwise current flows through the other loop antenna.

Abstract: Provided is an antenna control technique for forming the boundary of a communication area at a desired location. An antenna parameter control apparatus 2 calculates an antenna parameter in a case of feeding electric currents with an equal intensity in mutually reverse directions to two antennas 1A, 1B which generate a magnetic field. The antenna parameter control apparatus 2 includes an input parameter acquisition unit 21 that acquires input parameters for calculating the antenna parameter; and a parameter calculation unit 22 that calculates an inter-center distance d between the antennas 1A, 1B as the antenna parameter based on the input parameters.
