ANTENNA DEVICE AND RADIO FREQUENCY IC DEVICE
First Claim
1. An antenna device that is arranged to perform radio frequency communication with an external device, the antenna device comprising:
- an antenna element to transmit or receive a radio frequency communication signal to or from the external device; and
an additional resonance circuit that is magnetically coupled to the antenna element, that includes at least one inductor, and has a resonance frequency lower than a frequency in the radio frequency communication.

Abstract
An antenna device is arranged to transmit or receive a radio frequency communication signal to or from an external device such as a reader/writer, and is arranged such that an antenna resonance circuit including an antenna coil and a capacitor is connected to an additional resonance circuit including an inductor and a capacitor. A radio frequency IC device preferably includes the antenna device and a radio frequency IC. The antenna device is constructed such that a change in characteristics thereof caused by a change in the distance between a radio frequency IC device and a reader/writer is minimized, and the radio frequency IC device performs communication with high reliability.
