Abstract
To create a critical coupling state of coils provided in the first and second series resonance circuits, the output resistances of circuits for driving the resonance circuits are adjusted, or the distance between the coils is adjusted. A sine wave AC signal of a frequency identical to the resonance frequency of the resonance circuits is applied to one of the resonance circuits in accordance with transmission data. When one of the coils has been excited, the other coil electromagnetically coupled with the excited coil is also excited, thereby generating magnetic fields of the same intensity and different phases. The coils which constitute a magnetic coupling circuit can be driven by a power lower than that required in the conventional case, thereby transmitting carrier waves of a necessary intensity.
