  • Publication number: 20080252551
    Abstract: Coil units including windings are disposed on opposite sides across a virtual center line that is substantially perpendicular to a direction of positional displacement of a portable electronic apparatus that is to be disposed close to a reader/writer. The windings are connected in series through a conductor such that winding directions of the windings are the same. A difference in the communication performance between a case where the portable electronic apparatus is brought closer to a central portion of the reader/writer and a case where the portable electronic apparatus is brought closer to a position that is deviated from the central portion of the reader/writer can be reduced. In particular, even in a case where the portable electronic apparatus is brought closer to a peripheral portion of the reader/writer, a predetermined maximum possible communication range can be ensured.

  • Patent number: 7400221
    Abstract: In a semi-coaxial cavity resonator in which an inner conductor is fixed to an outer conductor with a screw, an inner cavity where the inner conductor does not engage with the screw is provided to extend from a bearing surface of the inner conductor to a region of an internal thread hole formed inside the inner conductor which does engage with the screw, thereby providing a region where the screw is deformable. Accordingly, deviation in perpendicularity of the screw relative to the bearing surface, deviation in perpendicularity of the internal thread hole of the inner conductor, and the like, may be accommodated by the deformation of the screw, and the bearing surface of the inner conductor is brought into contact with a bottom surface of an outer conductor evenly and reliably, thereby suppressing intermodulation distortion from occurring.
