Abstract: To design an impedance transformation circuit, a transformer ratio of a transformer circuit is determined according to an impedance ratio. A coupling coefficient between a first inductance element and a second inductance element, an inductance of the first inductance element, and an inductance of the second inductance element are determined. A shape of the second inductance element is determined. A shape of the first inductance element is determined such that the first inductance element includes at least two layers of loop conductors, and an interlayer distance between the loop conductors is determined such that an inductance value of the first inductance element is a desired value.

Abstract: In a case in which a capacitor is not provided in parallel with a second inductance element, the impedance ratio between a first inductance element and the second inductance element is constant regardless of the frequency, but when a capacitor is provided, the parallel impedance of the capacitor and the second inductance element gradually increases at frequencies equal to and below the resonant frequency. Consequently, at frequencies equal to or below the resonant frequency, the higher the frequency becomes, the larger the value of the real portion of the impedance observed on a high-frequency-circuit side becomes. Therefore, by appropriately setting the values of the first inductance element, the second inductance element, and the capacitor, the frequency characteristics of the real portion of the impedance observed on the high-frequency-circuit side can be set to be similar to the frequency characteristics of the radiation resistance of the antenna.

Abstract: An antenna device includes an impedance-matching switching circuit connected to a feeding circuit, and a radiating element. The impedance-matching switching circuit matches the impedance of the radiating element as a second high frequency circuit element and the impedance of the feeding circuit as a first high frequency circuit element. The impedance-matching switching circuit includes a transformer matching circuit and a series active circuit. The transformer matching circuit matches the real parts of the impedance and matches the imaginary parts of the impedance in the series active circuit. Thus, impedance matching is performed over a wide frequency band at a point at which high frequency circuits or elements having different impedances are connected to each other.

Abstract: In a laminated coil component, first coil conductor patterns define a coil opening that generates a magnetic flux in a first direction, second coil conductor patterns define a first coil opening that generates a magnetic flux in the first direction, and a second coil opening that generates a magnetic flux in a second direction. A difference in area between the first coil opening and the second coil opening determines a degree of coupling of the coil defined by the first coil conductor pattern and the coil defined by the second coil conductor pattern. This provides a close proximal arrangement of a plurality of coils proximally while significantly reducing or preventing unnecessary coupling between the coils.
