  • Patent number: 7928921
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tag-use antenna allowing a miniaturization while maintaining a constant minimal change of a communication distance. The tag-use antenna has a feed part of a folded dipole antenna of a size of 53 mm long and 7 mm wide being connected to, and equipped with, an LSI chip of Rc=500 ohms and Cc=1.4 pF and is covered with plastic resin 13 of the dielectric constant ?r=3 and thickness of t=0.75 mm on both sides of the antenna. The dipole part of 1 mm wire path width of the tag-use antenna is formed in a rectangular spiral by being bent inward from both ends at bending parts at four places. The entire length of the dipole antenna when extending the four bending parts straight is featured so as to be shorter than one half of a resonance wavelength of the antenna. An inductance part is formed in the neighborhood of the center of the dipole antenna, and placed in the middle of the dipole antenna, which is formed in said rectangular spiral, of the dipole antenna.

  • Patent number: 7880680
    Abstract: A tag device that performs high-quality radio communication without radio wave radiation or receiving characteristics being deteriorated near a person's body and without hindering communication by another IC tag. A main loop section sends and receives radio waves. The main loop section is a metal foil and has the shape of a long thin loop. The area of the main loop section is smaller than the area of a dielectric substrate. The main loop section covers part of surfaces of the dielectric substrate and part of sides of the dielectric substrate so as to put the dielectric substrate inside the loop. The main loop section is mounted in a horizontal direction of the dielectric substrate. Each of capacitive load sections is a metal foil and has a load corresponding to a capacitance component.

  • Patent number: 7834812
    Abstract: A loop antenna includes a dielectric substrate taking a cuboid form, and a loop part composed of a metal that covers two pairs of facing surfaces of the dielectric substrate. The loop part is formed by leaving a blank portion at the center of one surface of the pair of facing surfaces having a wider area. In the blank portion, a feeding point to an LSI chip and a capacitance part connected to the loop part in parallel to the feeding point are formed. The capacitance part is provided to compensate for an internal capacitance of the LSI chip so that a small LSI chip matches the antenna. A convex part having a length is arranged with a gap within a corresponding concave part to form a large capacitance.
