Abstract
An antenna includes two feeding points, and includes a loop-shaped loop electrode and an auxiliary electrode electrically connected to the loop electrode and located at a position along the outer circumference of the loop electrode. The first end portion of the auxiliary electrode is electrically connected to the vicinity of one feeding point of the loop electrode. The second end portion of the auxiliary electrode is open. A resonant circuit is defined by the auxiliary electrode and the loop electrode to enhance the impedance of the antenna, compared with a case in which the antenna is configured using the simple loop electrode, and it is easy to achieve impedance matching with the wireless IC.
