As the electrode of transducer, can illustrative mode be preferably static capacity type sensor electrode mode.In this case, when the detected object thing when this sensor electrode, promptly cause the variation of electrostatic capacitance amount, detect the existence of object.And, as the electrode of transducer, but illustration plain edition sensor electrode mode.In this case, in case when conductive materials contact pickup electrodes such as the globule, connect sensor electrode by conductive materials, thus can detect whether there is conductive materials by the variation of physical quantitys such as resistance value.Like this, it is except that can be used as the electrostatic capacitance sensor use, also applicable to otherwise transducer.
According to the present invention, antenna part is equipped with the antenna magnetic core portion of band soft-magnetic body and is attached to wire portion in the antenna magnetic core portion.Constitute the soft magnetic material of soft-magnetic body, can enumerate the good steel plate of magnetic permeability, silicon steel plate, amorphous soft magnetic material, soft magnetism Nanocrystalline materials etc.Therefore, as magnetic chip, can use steel plate, silicon steel plate, amorphous soft magnetic material and soft magnetism Nanocrystalline materials to make.Especially amorphous soft magnetic material or soft magnetism Nanocrystalline materials had both possessed conductivity, possessed high magnetic permeability and higher high frequency characteristics again.
As the amorphous soft magnetic material, can enumerate iron series and cobalt series material.As the soft magnetism Nanocrystalline materials, at least a such as can from iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), selecting, and from titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), hafnium (Hf), vanadium (V), niobium (Nb), molybdenum (Mo), chromium (Cr), tungsten (W), tantalum (Ta) and manganese (Mn), select at least a, simultaneously, form at the ultramicro-crystal grain below 2000 dusts, below 1000 dusts, below 500 dusts based on particle diameter.According to circumstances, the soft-magnetic body of formation antenna magnetic core portion also can form an integral body by sintered soft magnetic powder.And, antenna magnetic core portion can the illustration diaphragm seal mode of encapsulation.In this situation, to be corroded easily even constitute the material of antenna magnetic core portion, antenna magnetic core portion also can be protected further improves durability simultaneously.
According to the present invention, antenna magnetic core portion can adopt between adjacent magnetic chip to be situated between deformable aspect, and the mode of being made up of a plurality of magnetic chip laminations.In this case, form by the mode that deformable aspect is set between adjacent magnetic chip owing to antenna magnetic core portion.Therefore,, also can guarantee the deformation performance of magnetic chip, thereby improve the protectiveness of magnetic chip even do the time spent at the external force load.Deformable aspect can exemplify soft material layer and air layer.The soft material layer can exemplify elastomeric parts (rubber or soft resin etc.).In addition, the soft material layer can be the material that possesses high-insulativity or non-conductive property.
According to the present invention, opposed parts can take to be arranged on the opposite of conductive layer, enter the space so that form one between opposed parts and conductive layer for what the detected object thing entered.Certainly, conductive layer and opposed parts can be directly opposed across entering the space.Perhaps between conductive layer and opposed parts, dispose under the state of miscellaneous part, carry out conductive layer and opposed parts opposed.
Opposed parts can be made up of the material that possesses conductivity.Opposed parts preferably can ground connection (ground).Opposed parts itself also can be equipped with the antenna assembly of belt sensor.When being used for structures such as vehicle or building,, can adopt structures itself (comprising a body) such as car body or building as matrix.When adopting car body, need ground connection generally speaking as structure.
Preferably have the mode of control part, this control part sends or receives the signal of telecommunication for the lead of antenna part.At control part, illustration can take the emission of the guiding line portion signal of telecommunication or service time of antenna part when receiving, and to the transducer service time of sensor electrode power supply, the setting means that successively staggers in time.Do like this and help reducing noise.The service time of so-called antenna part and transducer service time staggering in time is meant that in time the time that the service time of antenna and transducer use not is in full accord, although the two partially overlaps, as long as both satisfy, and part is separated.
Antenna part is equipped with the wire portion that is attached in the antenna magnetic core portion.Can exemplify coil as wire portion.For the performance antenna function, can take in the wire portion of coiled type, the make of antenna magnetic core portion insertion.By wire portion power supply to coiled type, at inner generation of antenna magnetic core portion and the corresponding magnetic flux of this electric current, thereby form a magnetic field in the space, become the antenna of signal emission usefulness.Perhaps, when receiving electric wave signal, on the wire portion of coiled type, the corresponding electric current of formed magnetic flux in generation and the antenna magnetic core portion, thus become the antenna that signal receives usefulness.
The shape of antenna magnetic core portion does not have particular restriction.Can be the rhabdions such as plate body, square rod or pole of gusset shape.It is the mode of base material that antenna magnetic core portion can adopt with ferriferous oxides such as ferrites.The soft-magnetic body of the band conductivity that antenna magnetic core portion is provided with can exemplify that at least a portion is the mode of conductive layer in soft-magnetic body.In this case, conductive layer can be by material such as the steel plate that possesses good magnetic permeability, silicon steel plate, amorphous soft magnetic material and soft magnetism nanocrystals.
And it is base material that antenna magnetic core portion can adopt ferrite, and antenna magnetic core portion surface at least a portion is provided with conductive layer.The conductive layer material can adopt the material that possesses conductivity.As conductive, can adopt a kind of such as in nickel, nickel alloy, chromium, evanohm, aluminium, aluminium alloy, copper, copper alloy, titanium, the titanium alloy etc. at least.
If consider (1 formula) that the back will be narrated, for reducing the antenna part loss, the material that constitutes conductive layer preferably adopts the material that conductivity is low and magnetic permeability is low.Therefore, can adopt nonmagnetic metal.Simultaneously, according to the environment for use situation, can adopt the good material of corrosion resisting property.
Conductive layer can adopt band conductive membrane or paillon foil mode.When adopting the film mode, can utilize film-forming process such as evaporation, sputter, ion plating and plating method, on the surface of antenna magnetic core portion, make film.When adopting the paillon foil mode, can paillon foil be sticked on antenna magnetic core portion surface by bonding agent; Under the paillon foil mode,,, thereby need be provided with in order to the fixing parts of paillon foil because paillon foil will carry out bending or distortion if when forming with antenna magnetic core portion non-integral.And, can suppress the distortion and the bending of paillon foil, thereby improve the stability of paillon foil if with whole integrated the sticking in the antenna magnetic core portion of paillon foil.Help the thin-walled property of paillon foil like this, and help reducing aerial loss.
The thickness of conductive layer can suitably be selected according to the magnetic permeability, conductivity and the used factors such as wave frequency that constitute conductive layer, and for example, its thickness can adopt 0.1-500 μ m, 0.1-100 μ m, 1-50 μ m.The lower limit of conductive layer thickness can exemplify 0.2 μ m, 0.5 μ m, 1 μ m, 2 μ m, and the higher limit of conductive layer thickness can exemplify 100 μ m, 500 μ m, 1000 μ m, but need not to be defined in this.Also can adopt, be provided with the mode of conductive layer on the surface of antenna magnetic core portion.
If, can reduce the loss of antenna when conductive layer thickness carries out signal emission than this antenna or the epidermal area thickness δ of the frequency electric wave that receives when also thin.Therefore, in order to reduce the loss of antenna, epidermal area thickness δ is preferably thin.Epidermal area thickness δ is meant the distance the when electromagnetic field decay that incides on certain material arrives 1/e (e ≈ 2.718).Here, when magnetic permeability is that μ, conductivity are that σ (σ=1/ ρ), angular oscillation frequency are ω (ω=f/ π, f is frequency), then epidermal area thickness δ can represent with following (1) formula.
δ=(2/ μ σ ω) 1/2 ... ... (1 formula)
So magnetic permeability μ, conductivity, frequency f are low more, epidermal area thickness δ is just thick more.Otherwise magnetic permeability μ, conductivity, frequency f are high more, and its epidermal area δ is just thin more.Therefore, under same thickness, if will reduce the loss of antenna, the mode that conductive layer can adopt the low nonmagnetic metal of conductivity and help increasing resistance value forms.
With ferriferous oxides such as ferrites is base material, and the press-powder body after its powder is reinforced carries out sintering, when making antenna magnetic core portion, as antenna magnetic core portion surface not being ground, tends to occur small concavo-convex phenomenon.Like this, small concavo-convex if the surface of antenna magnetic core portion exists, influenced by this, the conductive layer of stack in antenna magnetic core portion also is easy to form small concavo-convex.Help increasing the surface area of conductive layer, and then increased the electrode area of sensor electrode, the sensitivity that improves transducer.Therefore, the surface of antenna magnetic core portion can be ground as required.
And when conductive layer becomes one when whole with antenna magnetic core portion stack, even antenna magnetic core portion is sustaining damage, the existence of conductive layer also can obtain the effect that prevents to occur a large amount of cracks in antenna magnetic core portion.
Simultaneously, can for example opposed parts be arranged on the opposite of conductive layer, enter the space for what the detected object thing entered so that between opposed parts and conductive layer, form one.Conductive layer and opposed parts can be directly opposed across entering the space.Perhaps, when disposing miscellaneous part between conductive layer and opposed parts, conductive layer and opposed parts also can be opposed across entering the space.Opposed parts can adopt conductive material to make.Opposed parts preferably can ground connection.Opposed parts also can use the antenna assembly matrix itself that is equipped with belt sensor.When being applied on the structures such as vehicle or building,, can adopt structures itself (comprising a body) such as car body or building as matrix.Ordinary circumstance, car body itself needs ground connection.Simultaneously, control part emission or reception are for the signal of telecommunication of the wire portion of antenna magnetic core portion.The mode that control part adopted is will carry out signal of telecommunication emission or antenna service time of receiving, the two successively staggered service time with the transducer that conductive layer is used as sensor electrode to wire portion on time set.Like this, the service time of antenna and the service time of transducer are successively staggered, will help reducing noise.What is called staggers antenna service time and transducer service time, is meant in time, is in the service time of antenna and the service time of transducer the time period inequality.As long as exist part to separate, both also can partially overlap.
Handle apparatus is to be handled by the arm of human body or robot.Typical handle apparatus can exemplify door handle device (comprise door handle, door turn round).As handle, can be the mode of drawing, the mode that pushes away or the mode of rotation.During as handle apparatus, opposed parts can be installed on the structure main bodys such as vehicle of being furnished with handle apparatus, also can be installed on other positions outside the main body.
Especially according to judging that static capacity changes when having detected not near the detected object thing, have static capacity, can will constitute by ferrite and be disposed at the lip-deep conducting film of antenna magnetic core portion or conductive foil uses as conductive layer for making electrode.At this moment, conductive layer becomes the electrode of transducer.When sensor electrode and detected object thing had more greatly over against area, static capacity increased, and is easy to detect.Therefore, sensor electrode can be arranged on the antenna magnetic core portion right opposite relative with the detected object thing all.
About door handle device, owing to be equipped with the antenna assembly that possesses above-mentioned electrostatic capacity type sensor electrode, applicable to carrying out handshaking between portable machine that carries the user and the door, confirm the locking of opposite house after my identity and the control system of unblanking to control by portable machine.Under this situation, can realize the user as long as hand is put on the door handle, can carry out automatic perception, open door lock; When hand leaves door handle, promptly lock the so-called keyless entry device of door lock.Door handle is the key position of design, and the device that is assemblied in its inside wishes to accomplish as far as possible miniaturization.For this reason, the antenna assembly of belt sensor electrode being made integrated, is very necessary; Simultaneously must guarantee that also midget plant possesses the higher detection sensitivity and the performance of antenna.

On the surface of entire antenna magnetic core portion 5 or each magnetic chip 50, can cover a diaphragm seal that resistance is big and sealing is high as required.Like this, even under adverse circumstances, use, also can guarantee the durability of entire antenna magnetic core portion 5 or magnetic chip 50.Especially extraneous foreign matter (water, iron powder, carbon dust etc.) is being arranged when existing, can play the effect of protection antenna magnetic core portion 5, helping improving the endurance quality of electrostatic capacitance sensor.
The material of magnetic chip 50 can adopt the lower soft magnetic material of coercive force.Soft magnetic material can exemplify amorphous soft magnetic material or soft magnetism Nanocrystalline materials.These materials possess electric conductivity, and magnetic permeability and high frequency characteristics are good, and are very favourable to high performance and miniaturization.The amorphous soft magnetic material can exemplify iron series, cobalt series etc.The soft magnetism Nanocrystalline materials can be by at least a kind from iron, cobalt, nickel, and with from titanium, zirconium, hafnium, vanadium, niobium, molybdenum, chromium, tungsten, tantalum, manganese at least a kind, and the following ultramicro-crystal grain of 500 dusts constitutes.
According to present embodiment, can be as required, bag is carried out the bigger film of one deck resistance value on the surface of entire antenna magnetic core portion 5 or each magnetic chip 50.As the film of Bao Lvda resistance on the surface of each magnetic chip 50, can make that along on the thickness direction of magnetic chip 50, the generation in eddy current loop is restricted, thereby the loss of eddy current is reduced.The film that resistance value is bigger can adopt the film of organic series or the film of inorganic series.For example, can adopt the diaphragm of phosphoric acid series, ferrous acid iron diaphragm etc.
According to present embodiment, can be with deformable layer 56 between constituting antenna magnetic core portion 5 and constituting between the magnetic chip 50 of laminated construction soft-magnetic body 51.Like this, can improve the deformation resistance and the protectiveness of magnetic chip 50.Deformable layer 56 can exemplify soft material layer and air layer.The soft material layer can exemplify rubber-like parts (as rubber or soft resin etc.).
Wire portion 6 on the antenna part 2 is assemblied on the laminated construction soft-magnetic body 51 of antenna magnetic core portion 5.Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, in wire portion 6, the outside that constitutes the laminated construction soft magnetic bodies 51 of antenna magnetic core portion 5 be equipped with by the winding 60 of capable one-tenths of coil winding and be communicated with it and conduct electricity extend part 62.Winding 60 is reeled the bag shoe on magnetic chip 50A described later from the outside.The part 62 that extends on the wire portion 6 is electrically connected with power supply 64 and control part 65.Power supply 64 preferably uses AC power.
As shown in Figure 1, in a plurality of magnetic chips 50 of forming laminated construction soft-magnetic body 51, with the magnetic chip 50A of opposed parts 3 opposed formation conductive layers except that possessing soft magnetism, also possess conductivity.Magnetic chip 50A can play the function of static capacity type sensor electrode, and is electrically connected with the test section 52 of detecting electrostatic capacitance on circuit.Test section 52 can apply voltage simultaneously between magnetic chip 50A and opposed parts 3, and as the static capacity type sensor electrode, possesses the function of the static capacity that detects magnetic chip 50A.The transducer of test section 52 and electrostatic capacitive is made according to capacitance principle, and can the dielectric of broad scope such as metallic object or human body be detected.
Because the area of magnetic chip 50A and opposed parts 3 is bigger, this is highly beneficial to guaranteeing static capacity.Simultaneously, as long as can constitute the transducer of electrostatic capacitive, the area of magnetic chip 50A and opposed parts 3 can be identical, also can be different.
In antenna magnetic core portion 5, as the close transducer magnetic chip 50A of detected object thing, that is: enter between the magnetic chip 50A of antenna magnetic core portion 5 and the opposed parts 3 formed when entering space 4 when detected object thing 7, because of being subjected to the influence of the ratio dielectric constant of detected object thing 7, test section 52 will detect the variation that static capacity produces.Therefore, can judge whether the existence of detected object thing 7 or detected object thing 7 be good according to the variation of static capacity.Detected object thing 7 can be objects such as human or animal's live body or manipulator that operation is used or parts, card, or liquid such as rainwater.

(the 7th embodiment)
Followingly the seventh embodiment of the present invention is described with reference to Fig. 9~Figure 12.Fig. 9 has represented antenna magnetic core portion 5.Antenna magnetic core portion 5 is that the soft magnetic material by oxide series is constituted, be exactly specifically ferrite with ferriferous oxide as base material, sintering after with powder compact the press-powder body and make.Because ferrite is made up of ferriferous oxide, therefore, cost of material is cheap, can make various shapes after being shaped.As ferrite, can use Cu-EN ferrite, Ni-Zn ferrite, Cu-Zn-Mg ferrite, Mn-Zn ferrite etc.Wherein except that the Mn-Zn ferrite, other ferritic electricalresistivitys are general all more than 104 Ω cm, and resistance value is big, and electric conductivity is low.The ferritic electricalresistivity of Mn-Zn is generally 1~103 Ω cm, and resistance is relatively low.
Utilize film-forming process such as sputter, vacuum evaporation or plating, can be on the surperficial 5a of the antenna magnetic core portion 5 that constitutes the gusset shape with the metal film stack, and this metal film used as conductive layer 50E (sensor electrode).The thickness of conductive layer 50E is 0.1~0.4 μ m.Conductive layer 50E also can make of metals such as Ni-Cr or Ni-Cr-Si.For example, conductive layer 50E can make of metals such as Ni-80at.%Cr or Ni-50at.%Cr-5at.%Si.It constitutes as shown in Figure 9, and in the antenna magnetic core portion 5 that forms with ferrite, conductive layer 50E forms on its integral surface 5a.Surface 5a is a rectangle.
By the film formed conductive layer 50E of metal, it is identical with the epidermal area thickness δ that calculates by above-mentioned (1 formula) that its thickness can be made as, and perhaps slightly thin than it, aerial loss will reduce like this.In the present embodiment, not only can be on the surperficial 5a of antenna magnetic core portion 5 with the conductive layer 50E direct forming of film like, and, also can use bonding agent that metal forming is directly pasted on the surperficial 5a of antenna magnetic core portion 5,50E uses as conductive layer.
Close along with the detected object thing, when when being used as the sensor electrode that detects the static capacity variation and using by metal film or by the conductive layer 50E that metal forming forms, the static capacity of this sensor electrode is directly proportional with the electrode area of sensor electrode and the dielectric constant of detected object thing basically, and the distance between the detected object thing is inversely proportional to.Therefore, utilize the variation of this static capacity, in the interval of certain scope, have or not the static capacity type sensor of detected object thing to use as detection.Like this, when using as static capacity type sensor, the surface area of the sensor electrode of being formed by conductive layer 50E, the end detection sensitivity that its surface area is big is higher.Therefore, preferably will be arranged on the surperficial 5a of antenna magnetic core portion 5 by the conductive layer 50E covering that metal film or metal forming are formed.
Figure 10 has represented solenoid coil is wound on around the antenna part 5 that is provided with conductive layer 50E, the cutaway view of the state when constituting the wire portion 6 of coiled type.Figure 10 has expressed the pattern in a kind of antenna assembly 1 that above-mentioned antenna magnetic core portion 5 is applied to belt sensor.As shown in figure 11, the antenna assembly 1 of belt sensor is equipped with antenna part 2.Antenna part 2 is by the formed whole shape antenna magnetic core of the ferrite that possesses magnetic conductivity portion 5, and the wire portion 6 that is attached to the coiled type in the antenna magnetic core portion 5 is formed.
The wire portion 6 of antenna part 2 is attached in the antenna magnetic core portion 5.Specifically, wire portion 6 is provided with winding 60 and extends part 62.Winding 60 is located at the outside of antenna magnetic core portion 5, through repeatedly turning to coil shape, and extends part 62 and is electrically connected with coiler part 60.Be connected to control part 65 on the part 62 extending of wire portion 6.As shown in figure 11, in the present embodiment, the antenna assembly 1 of belt sensor is equipped with opposed parts 3.Opposed parts 3 are mutually opposed with the conductive layer 50E of antenna magnetic core portion 5 so that its and antenna magnetic core portion 5 between form and can enter space 4 for what the detected object thing entered.Opposed parts 3 are made into tabular by the material that possesses conductivity (for example iron series, cobalt series, nickel series, aluminium series etc.).Opposed parts 3 are across entering space 4, and are mutually opposed with the conductive layer 50E of antenna magnetic core portion 5, again by earth connection 30 ground connection.Opposed parts 3 possess the area of defined, and are configured along antenna magnetic core portion 5.Opposed parts 3 also can be made of the matrix (can be a body during vehicle) of the antenna assembly 1 of supporting strap transducer.
As shown in figure 11, the conductive layer 50E of stack in antenna magnetic core portion 5 possesses conductivity, can be used as the static capacity type sensor electrode and plays effectiveness, and simultaneously, it is electrically connected with the test section 52 of detecting static capacity.When test section 52 when detecting electrostatic capacitance, between conductive layer 50E and opposed parts 3, apply voltage in, also can play the effectiveness of the static capacity that detects conductive layer 50E as the electrostatic capacitive electrode.Test section 52 and static capacity type sensor have been used the capacitor principle exactly, with the dielectric of broad scope such as metallic object or human body as the detected object thing.Because the area of conductive layer 50E and opposed parts 3 is bigger, therefore help guaranteeing electrostatic capacitance.In addition, conductive layer 50E and opposed parts 3 areas can be identical, also can be inequality, as long as key is to constitute static capacity type sensor.
In the antenna magnetic core portion 5, as the detected object thing near as the conductive layer 50E of sensor electrode the time, promptly, in antenna magnetic core portion 5, what conductive layer 50E and opposed parts 3 were constituted enters in the space 4, when detected object thing 7 enters, be subjected to the influence of the dielectric constant of detected object thing 7, test section 52 detects the variation that the electrostatic capacitance amount takes place.Therefore, according to the variation of static capacity, can judge whether the existence of detected object thing 7 or its be good.Detected object thing 7 can be the human body of human body or animal body, or is made for liquids such as the mechanical hand of industry usefulness, object such as parts or card and rainwater.
According to present embodiment, through the opposed parts 3 of earth connection 30 ground connection be set at antenna magnetic core portion 5 near, in the antenna magnetic core portion 5 between conductive layer 50E and the opposed parts 3 the formed spatial volume amplitude that enters space 4 be defined in institute's sizing.With enter detected object thing that space 4 has dielectric constant inequality and be present in and be configured in when entering in the space 4, enter the 7 occupied volumes of detected object thing in the space 4 and become big, thereby be beneficial to the variation of guaranteeing conductivity, and then improve sensitivities as static capacity type sensor.
In use, owing to supply in the wire portion b of antenna part 2 that electric current is arranged, the electric field of generation and magnetic field promptly form electromagnetic wave, outwards launch electric waves from antenna part 2.Be under the state of antenna part 2 emission electric waves, when the detected object thing 7 that carries electron key near the time, electron key receives electric wave.When receiving the electric wave of electron key emission, can detect the approaching of detected object thing 7 by the receiving system of not indicating in the drawings.Like this, according to the electric wave that electronic lock is launched, (for example: the authentication of user's authentication, the detected object things such as authentication of parts), judge whether detected object object 7 registers in advance just can carry out ID identification authentication.So-called ID identification authentication (user's identification authentication) is meant and judges whether the user registers in advance.
In addition, when detected object thing 7 during near the conductive layer 50E of antenna magnetic core portions 5, that is, the detected object thing enters into when entering space 4, because static capacity changes, thereby is whether the existence of the above-mentioned object 7 of decidable or its be good.Effectively utilize the conductive layer 50E of stack in the antenna magnetic core portion 5 of antenna part 2, can constitute the static capacity type sensor of using for human body or object.
For example: when being equipped with the antenna assembly 1 of belt sensor on the door handle device, be explained as follows.In this case, owing to supply that electric current is arranged in the wire portion 6 of antenna part 2, thereby can outwards launch electric wave signal from antenna part 2.Being under the state of antenna part 2 emission electric waves, when the user who carries electron key is close, but the electric wave that electron key reception antenna portion 2 is launched.After receiving system receives the electric wave of electron key emission, detecting the user, this user is being carried out ID identification authentication near in the door handle device.When by ID identification authentication, be judged to be when being the personnel of registered registration, door just can carry out following on-off action.That is to say, when user's finger when being used for the antenna magnetic core portion 5 of actuating doors handle, promptly, user's finger extend into when entering space 4, because the static capacity that enters in the space 4 changes, thereby detect the intention that the user has shutter door, therefore, the door lock assembly of not indicating in the drawings starts and is opened.If by ID identification authentication, judge when not being the personnel of registered registration that even user's finger is when being used for the antenna magnetic core portion 5 of actuating doors handle apparatus, this door gear still keeps lock-out state.As mentioned above, antenna part 2 is carrying out ID authentication by electric wave signal, and goes out the user according to the static capacity change-detection and open the door after 2 conditions of intention are satisfied, and door handle device just can be unblanked.
According to above embodiment, as shown in figure 12, control part 65 carries out the wire portion 6 of antenna part 2 antenna TA service time of signal of telecommunication emission or reception on time set, and with the transducer service time TC of opposed parts 3 as the electrostatic transducer use, the two successively staggers.In other words, as shown in figure 12, in the different time, make the wire portion 6 of antenna part 2 carry out antenna TA service time that the signal of telecommunication is launched or received, and overlapping does not appear in transducer TC service time of opposed parts 3 power supplies.Therefore, antenna part 2 is when the performance antenna function, and static capacity type sensor is in off-state, otherwise when antenna part 2 performance static capacity type sensor functions, its antenna function is in off-state.To help controlling generating noise like this.The wire portion 6 of antenna part 2 is carried out antenna TA service time that the signal of telecommunication is launched or received, and, carry out after separating fully transducer TC service time that opposed parts 3 use as electrostatic transducer.According to different situations, time set is as long as there is the time period that does not overlap in time.According to present embodiment, though be provided with opposed parts 3, be not limited to this through earth connection 30 ground connection, also can adopt the earth (earth) ground connection itself, to substitute opposed parts 3.
