Abstract: A wireless reading system includes a goods path and a reader device. The goods path allows one or more goods held by a customer passing through a customer path to be moved along. The reader device is configured to perform wireless communication, whose medium is radio waves, with one or more electronic tags attached to the one or more goods while the one or more goods are moved along the goods path, thereby reading one or more pieces of goods information on the one or more goods, respectively.

Abstract: A wireless communications system according to an aspect includes a communications terminal, a detection unit, and a control unit. The communications terminal includes a communications unit to communicate wirelessly with a communications partner terminal. The detection unit detects movement of the communications terminal. The control unit controls the communications terminal so as to vary a communicable area of the communications unit. The communicable area is defined relatively to the communications terminal. The control unit varies the communicable area according to at least magnitude of the movement detected by the detection unit.

Abstract: A shopping assistance system includes a strength acquirer and a determining processor. The strength acquirer is configured to acquire values of a received signal strength indication at a reader device while the reader device performs wireless communication with an electronic tag attached to at least one product. The reader device is configured to perform the wireless communication with the electronic tag by using a radio wave as a medium to read a piece of product information on the at least one product. The determining processor is configured to determine, for each of the at least one product, whether or not the at least one product is an object to be purchased based on a change of the received signal strength indication over time.

Abstract: A common terminal 500 is connected to drains of FETs 101 and 102 via a capacitor 400. FETs 111 to 114 are serially connected, and inserted between a source of the FET 101 and a terminal 501 via a capacitor 401. Similarly, each of: FETs 121 to 124; FETs 131 to 133; FETs 141 to 143; FETs 151 to 153; and FETs 161 to 163 is inserted between the source of the FET 101 or an FET 102 and a corresponding one of terminals 502 to 506. This configuration allows a stray capacitance value of a transmission/reception path to be reduced at the time of transmission/reception, thereby obtaining a favorable radio-frequency characteristic.
