  • Patent number: 8792837
    Abstract: A transmission/reception antenna and a transmission/reception device using the antenna wherein the antenna includes a dielectric base board, an excitation loop antenna provided on the dielectric base board, a transmission/reception loop antenna provided on the dielectric base board in close proximity of but not in contact with the excitation loop antenna, and a resonance capacitor connected between two ends of the transmission/reception loop antenna. A coupling capacitor is connected to one of the two ends of the transmission/reception loop antenna. The excitation loop antenna is connected to a transmitter, and the transmission/reception loop antenna is connected to the receptor via the coupling capacitor. Thereby, the frequency property may be expanded without increasing the power consumption, and the reception processing unit is enabled to properly process the reception signal.

  • Patent number: 8730120
    Abstract: Provided are a transmission/reception antenna and a transmission/reception device using the same wherein the transmission/reception antenna comprises an excitation loop antenna (12) having a loop of a single turn and a transmission/reception loop antenna (14) having a pair of loops (14a, 14b) of a plurality of turns which are closely wound around a magnetic member (11). The two loops of the transmission/reception loop antenna are located on either side of the excitation loop. A resonance capacitor (15) is connected across one ends of the two loops of the transmission/reception loop antenna, and a connecting portion (14c) is connected between the ends of the two loops opposite to those connected to the resonance capacitor. The frequency property is expanded without increasing the power consumption.

  • Patent number: 8508342
    Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a transmitting/receiving antenna, which includes a dielectric board, a driven loop antenna provided to the dielectric board, transmit processing portion connection terminals connected to the driven loop antenna, a transmitting/receiving loop antenna arranged in close vicinity to the driven loop antenna in a non-contact state, a resonance capacitor connected to both ends of the transmitting/receiving loop antenna, and receive processing portion connection terminals connected to the transmitting/receiving loop antenna. The driven loop antenna is constructed to have a loop wound in a single turn, and the transmitting/receiving loop antenna is constructed to have a loop wound in plural turns. According to this configuration, a wider frequency band of the frequency characteristic and a reduction of the power consumption can be achieved.
