[0013] 半導体パッケージ部品 12は、半導体素子 11を内装したパッケージ部品であり、そ の形状としてフラットパッケージが典型的である。半導体パッケージ部品 12は、その 入出力端子 12aが配線基板 14上のパッド 14aに接続されることで実装される。なお、 この例では、配線基板 14に実装される半導体パッケージ部品 12は 1つであるが、複 数の半導体パッケージ部品 12が実装されてもよい。また、半導体パッケージ部品 12 に内装される半導体素子 11の数も 2つ以上であってもよい。配線基板 14は、半導体 ノ ッケージ部品 12及びアンテナ 15を実装できれば、その構造が単層であるか多層 であるかは問わない。アンテナ 15は、半導体素子 11と電気的に接続された無線通 信用のアンテナであり、半導体パッケージ部品 12が実装された配線基板 14の面と反 対側の面に実装される。磁力線通過部 13は、磁性体から構成される磁力線を積極 的に通過させる物質であり、シート形状で配線基板 14に貼り付け等されてもよいし、 配線基板 14上に蒸着によって塗布等されてもよい。第 1の実施形態では、この磁力 線通過部 13を、半導体素子 11とアンテナ 15とで挟まれた領域の少なくとも一部に設 けることを特徴とする。このように磁力線通過部 13を設けることで、以下の効果が得ら れる。 [0014] 図 2Aは、磁力線通過部 13がない構造での磁力線の流れを説明する図であり、図 2Bは、磁力線通過部 13がある構造、すなわちアンテナ内蔵カード 1の構造での磁力 線の流れを説明する図である。 [0013] The semiconductor package component 12 is a package component in which the semiconductor element 11 is housed, and a flat package is typical as its shape. The semiconductor package component 12 is mounted by connecting its input / output terminal 12a to the pad 14a on the wiring board 14. In this example, there is one semiconductor package component 12 mounted on the wiring board 14, but a plurality of semiconductor package components 12 may be mounted. Also, the number of semiconductor elements 11 housed in the semiconductor package component 12 may be two or more. As long as the semiconductor substrate 12 and the antenna 15 can be mounted on the wiring substrate 14, it does not matter whether the structure is a single layer or a multilayer. The antenna 15 is a wireless communication antenna that is electrically connected to the semiconductor element 11, and is mounted on the surface opposite to the surface of the wiring board 14 on which the semiconductor package component 12 is mounted. The magnetic force line passage portion 13 is a substance that actively passes magnetic force lines composed of a magnetic material, and may be attached to the wiring board 14 in a sheet shape, or may be applied to the wiring board 14 by vapor deposition. Also good. The first embodiment is characterized in that the magnetic force line passing portion 13 is provided in at least a part of a region sandwiched between the semiconductor element 11 and the antenna 15. By providing the magnetic force line passage portion 13 as described above, the following effects can be obtained. [0014] FIG. 2A is a diagram for explaining the flow of magnetic lines of force in a structure without the magnetic field line passing portion 13, and FIG. It is a figure explaining a flow.
図 2Aでは、半導体素子 11の下に配線基板 14を介してアンテナ 15を設けただけの 構造であるため、金属板として見なせる半導体素子 11に磁力線が反射されて、磁力 線がアンテナ 15を通過しなくなる。このため、アンテナの性能を発揮することができな い。一方、図 2Bでは、半導体素子 11とアンテナ 15との間に磁力線通過部 13を設け て 、るため、この磁力線通過部 13を通過することで磁力線がアンテナ 15を通過でき る。よって、半導体素子 11の影響を受けることなぐアンテナの性能を十分に発揮す ることがでさる。  In FIG. 2A, since the antenna 15 is simply provided under the semiconductor element 11 via the wiring substrate 14, the magnetic field lines are reflected by the semiconductor element 11 that can be regarded as a metal plate, and the magnetic field lines pass through the antenna 15. Disappear. For this reason, the performance of the antenna cannot be exhibited. On the other hand, in FIG. 2B, since the magnetic force line passing portion 13 is provided between the semiconductor element 11 and the antenna 15, the magnetic force lines can pass through the antenna 15 by passing through the magnetic force line passing portion 13. Therefore, the antenna performance without being affected by the semiconductor element 11 can be fully exhibited.
[0015] また、同様の理由で、配線基板 14上に存在する配線パターンやグランドパターン 等の導体パターンも、磁力線を反射させる金属板として見なせる。従って、配線基板 14の磁力線が通過する領域 14b (図 1Aを参照)では、この導体パターンを極力少な くすることが望ましい。検証のため、アンテナ内蔵カード 1の構造の磁力線通過部 13 とアンテナ 15との間に、占有面積 dを変化させて金属板 Bを挿入し、通信相手のアン テナ Aと通信可能な最大距離比率の変化を測定する実験を行った (図 3)。この実験 の結果、導体パターンが占める領域 (dZD)力 配線基板 14の磁力線が通過する領 域 14bの 25%以下であれば、十分な性能が発揮できることが確認された(図 4)。  [0015] For the same reason, a conductor pattern such as a wiring pattern and a ground pattern existing on the wiring board 14 can also be regarded as a metal plate that reflects the lines of magnetic force. Therefore, it is desirable to minimize this conductor pattern in the region 14b (see FIG. 1A) through which the magnetic lines of force of the wiring board 14 pass. For verification purposes, insert metal plate B between the magnetic field line passing part 13 and antenna 15 of the structure of the card with a built-in antenna 1 while changing the occupied area d, and the maximum distance ratio that can communicate with the antenna A An experiment was conducted to measure the change in the (Fig. 3). As a result of this experiment, it was confirmed that sufficient performance can be achieved if the area (dZD) force occupied by the conductor pattern is 25% or less of the area 14b through which the magnetic field lines of the wiring board 14 pass (Fig. 4).
[0016] 上記第 1の実施形態に係るアンテナ内蔵カード 1によれば、磁力線通過部 13を設 けることで半導体素子 11がアンテナ 15に与える影響を低減させることができる。これ により、アンテナ 15と半導体素子 11を磁力線に対して垂直方向に実装しても、アン テナ 15の性能を十分に発揮させることができるので、アンテナを内蔵したカードの小 型化を容易に実現することができる。  According to the antenna built-in card 1 according to the first embodiment, the influence of the semiconductor element 11 on the antenna 15 can be reduced by providing the line of magnetic force passage 13. As a result, even if the antenna 15 and the semiconductor element 11 are mounted in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field lines, the performance of the antenna 15 can be fully exerted, so the card with a built-in antenna can be easily downsized. can do.
[0017] なお、上記第 1の実施形態では、アンテナ 15が半導体パッケージ部品 12が実装さ れた配線基板 14の面と反対側の面に実装される場合を説明した。しかし、この構造 は一例であって、磁力線通過部 13が半導体素子 11とアンテナ 15とで挟まれた領域 の少なくとも一部に設けられていれば、例えば、図 5のようにアンテナ 15が配線基板 14の同一面に実装されてもよいし、図 6のようにアンテナ 15が配線基板 14の内部に 埋め込まれていてもよい。 In the first embodiment, the case where the antenna 15 is mounted on the surface opposite to the surface of the wiring board 14 on which the semiconductor package component 12 is mounted has been described. However, this structure is an example, and if the magnetic force line passage portion 13 is provided in at least a part of the region sandwiched between the semiconductor element 11 and the antenna 15, the antenna 15 is connected to the wiring board as shown in FIG. 14 may be mounted on the same surface, and the antenna 15 is placed inside the wiring board 14 as shown in FIG. It may be embedded.

This antenna built-in card 2 has a structure in which a semiconductor package component 22 is mounted on one surface of a wiring board 14 and an antenna 15 is mounted on the other surface.

The semiconductor package component 22 is mounted by connecting its input / output terminal 12 a to the node 14 a on the wiring board 14. In this example, only one semiconductor package component 22 is mounted on the wiring board 14, but a plurality of semiconductor package components 22 may be mounted. Also, the number of semiconductor elements 11 incorporated in the semiconductor package component 22 may be two or more. The wiring board 14 and the antenna 15 are as described in the first embodiment. The magnetic force line passing portion 23 is a substance that actively passes the magnetic force lines formed of a magnetic material, and is embedded in the semiconductor package component 22. In addition to embedding the magnetic force line passing portion 23 in the semiconductor package component 22, it may be affixed in the form of a sheet, or may be applied by vapor deposition. The second embodiment is characterized in that the magnetic force line passing portion 23 is provided in at least a part of a region sandwiched between the semiconductor element 11 and the antenna 15. The effect obtained by providing the magnetic force line passing portion 23 is as described in the first embodiment.
[0020] 上記第 2の実施形態に係るアンテナ内蔵カード 2によれば、磁力線通過部 23を設 けることで半導体素子 11がアンテナ 15に与える影響を低減させることができる。これ により、アンテナ 15と半導体素子 11を磁力線に対して垂直方向に実装しても、アン テナ 15の性能を十分に発揮させることができるので、アンテナを内蔵したカードの小 型化を容易に実現することができる。また、磁力線通過部 23を半導体パッケージ部 品 22内に埋め込むので、更なる小型化及び低コストィ匕が期待できる。  [0020] According to the antenna built-in card 2 according to the second embodiment, the influence of the semiconductor element 11 on the antenna 15 can be reduced by providing the magnetic force line passing portion 23. As a result, even if the antenna 15 and the semiconductor element 11 are mounted in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field lines, the performance of the antenna 15 can be fully exerted, so the card with a built-in antenna can be easily downsized. can do. Further, since the magnetic force line passing portion 23 is embedded in the semiconductor package component 22, further miniaturization and low cost can be expected.
[0021] なお、上記第 2の実施形態では、アンテナ 15が半導体パッケージ部品 22が実装さ れた配線基板 14の面と反対側の面に実装される場合を説明した。しかし、この構造 は一例であって、例えば、図 8のようにアンテナ 15が配線基板 14の同一面に実装さ れてもよいし (但し、チップサイズパッケージでは困難)、図 9のようにアンテナ 15が配 線基板 14の内部に埋め込まれていてもよい。 In the second embodiment, the antenna 15 is mounted on the semiconductor package component 22. The case where it is mounted on the surface opposite to the surface of the printed wiring board 14 has been described. However, this structure is an example. For example, the antenna 15 may be mounted on the same surface of the wiring board 14 as shown in FIG. 8 (however, it is difficult with a chip size package), or the antenna as shown in FIG. 15 may be embedded in the wiring board 14.
[0022] 〔第 3の実施形態〕  [Third Embodiment]
図 10A及び図 10Bは、本発明の第 3の実施形態に係るアンテナ内蔵カードの構造 を説明する斜視図及び断面図である。図 10A及び図 10Bにおいて、第 3の実施形 態に係るアンテナ内蔵カード 3は、半導体パッケージ部品 12と、配線基板 34と、アン テナ 15とを備える。このアンテナ内蔵カード 3は、配線基板 34の一方面に半導体パ ッケージ部品 12が他方面にアンテナ 15が、それぞれ実装された構造である。  10A and 10B are a perspective view and a cross-sectional view illustrating the structure of the antenna built-in card according to the third embodiment of the present invention. 10A and 10B, the antenna built-in card 3 according to the third embodiment includes a semiconductor package component 12, a wiring board 34, and an antenna 15. The antenna built-in card 3 has a structure in which the semiconductor package component 12 is mounted on one surface of the wiring board 34 and the antenna 15 is mounted on the other surface.
[0023] 半導体パッケージ部品 12及びアンテナ 15は、上記第 1の実施形態で説明した通り である。磁力線通過部 33は、磁性体力も構成される磁力線を積極的に通過させる物 質であり、配線基板 34に埋め込まれている。配線基板 34は、半導体パッケージ部品 12及びアンテナ 15を異なる面にそれぞれ実装できれば、その構造が単層であるか 多層であるかは問わない。第 3の実施形態では、この磁力線通過部 33を、半導体素 子 11とアンテナ 15とで挟まれた領域の少なくとも一部に設けることを特徴とする。この 磁力線通過部 33を設けることで得られる効果は、上記第 1の実施形態で説明した通 りである。  The semiconductor package component 12 and the antenna 15 are as described in the first embodiment. The magnetic force line passing portion 33 is a substance that actively passes the magnetic force lines that also constitute magnetic force, and is embedded in the wiring board 34. As long as the semiconductor package component 12 and the antenna 15 can be mounted on different surfaces, the wiring board 34 may have a single layer structure or a multilayer structure. The third embodiment is characterized in that the magnetic force line passing portion 33 is provided in at least a part of a region sandwiched between the semiconductor element 11 and the antenna 15. The effect obtained by providing the magnetic force line passage portion 33 is the same as described in the first embodiment.
[0024] 上記第 3の実施形態に係るアンテナ内蔵カード 3によれば、磁力線通過部 33を設 けることで半導体素子 11がアンテナ 15に与える影響を低減させることができる。これ により、アンテナ 15と半導体素子 11を磁力線に対して垂直方向に実装しても、アン テナ 15の性能を十分に発揮させることができるので、アンテナを内蔵したカードの小 型化を容易に実現することができる。また、磁力線通過部 33を配線基板 34内に埋め 込むので、基板製作の一部の工程を替えるだけで容易に実現でき、更なる小型化及 び抵コストィ匕が期待できる。  [0024] According to the antenna built-in card 3 according to the third embodiment, the influence of the semiconductor element 11 on the antenna 15 can be reduced by providing the magnetic force line passing portion 33. As a result, even if the antenna 15 and the semiconductor element 11 are mounted in a direction perpendicular to the magnetic field lines, the performance of the antenna 15 can be fully exerted, so the card with a built-in antenna can be easily downsized. can do. Further, since the magnetic field line passing portion 33 is embedded in the wiring board 34, it can be easily realized by changing only part of the board manufacturing process, and further miniaturization and cost reduction can be expected.
[0025] なお、上記第 3の実施形態では、アンテナ 15が半導体パッケージ部品 12が実装さ れた配線基板 34の面と反対側の面に実装される場合を説明した。しかし、この構造 は一例であって、磁力線通過部 33が半導体素子 11とアンテナ 15とで挟まれた領域 の少なくとも一部に設けられていれば、例えば、図 11のようにアンテナ 15が配線基 板 34の内部に埋め込まれていてもよい。また、図 12のように、磁力線通過部 33と半 導体素子 11との間における配線基板 34の内部に、導体パターン 34aを設けてもょ ヽ 。この構造にすれば、磁力線力この導体パターン 34aによってアンテナ 15を通過す るようになるので、配線基板 34上の配線設計に自由度が生まれる。 In the third embodiment, the case where the antenna 15 is mounted on the surface opposite to the surface of the wiring board 34 on which the semiconductor package component 12 is mounted has been described. However, this structure is only an example, and a region where the magnetic field line passing portion 33 is sandwiched between the semiconductor element 11 and the antenna 15. For example, the antenna 15 may be embedded in the wiring board 34 as shown in FIG. In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, a conductor pattern 34a may be provided inside the wiring board 34 between the magnetic force line passing portion 33 and the semiconductor element 11. If this structure is used, the magnetic line force passes through the antenna 15 by the conductor pattern 34a, so that the wiring design on the wiring board 34 is free.
[0026] 上記第 1〜第 3の実施形態で説明したアンテナ内蔵カード 1〜3の典型的な使用例 としては、 SDカード (登録商標)等に代表されるメモリカード 40が考えられる(図 13)。 そして、このメモリカード 40が、携帯情報機器 41 (携帯電話、デジタルカメラ、 ETC端 末、及び AV機器等)に備えられたカードソケット 42に挿入されることで、アンテナ内 蔵カード 1〜3が提供する機能が携帯情報機器 41に導入される。このような形態で携 帯情報機器 41に導入することにより、携帯情報機器 41に無線通信用のアンテナを 実装する必要がなくなるため、携帯情報機器 41の設計容易化及び低コスト化を実現 することができる。 [0026] As a typical use example of the antenna built-in cards 1 to 3 described in the first to third embodiments, a memory card 40 represented by an SD card (registered trademark) or the like can be considered (FIG. 13). ). The memory card 40 is inserted into the card socket 42 provided in the portable information device 41 (mobile phone, digital camera, ETC terminal, AV device, etc.), so that the antenna built-in cards 1 to 3 are inserted. The provided function is introduced into the portable information device 41. By introducing the mobile information device 41 in this form to the mobile information device 41, it is not necessary to mount an antenna for wireless communication on the mobile information device 41, so that the mobile information device 41 can be easily designed and reduced in cost. Can do.
[0027] なお、携帯情報機器 41によっては、アンテナ内蔵カード 1〜3内部のアンテナ 15が 利用できない場合も考えられる。例えば、カードソケット 42の位置関係に問題がある 場合である。よって、この場合には、外部アンテナ 50を接続できる入力力端子 51、及 び内部のアンテナ 15と外部アンテナ 50とを切り替えるスィッチ 52を、アンテナ内蔵力 ード 1〜3に新たに設けて、該当する携帯情報機器 41へメモリカード 40を挿入した場 合に、携帯情報機器 41側に設けられた外部アンテナ 50を利用できるようにすればよ い(図 14)。  Depending on the portable information device 41, there may be a case where the antenna 15 inside the cards with built-in antennas 1 to 3 cannot be used. For example, there is a problem in the positional relationship of the card socket 42. Therefore, in this case, the input force terminal 51 to which the external antenna 50 can be connected and the switch 52 for switching between the internal antenna 15 and the external antenna 50 are newly provided in the antenna built-in force nodes 1 to 3, and When the memory card 40 is inserted into the portable information device 41 to be used, the external antenna 50 provided on the portable information device 41 side should be made available (FIG. 14).
[0028] 〔第 4の実施形態〕  [Embodiment 4]
上述した第 1〜第 3の実施形態で説明したアンテナ内蔵カード 1〜3では、カードサ ィズに縛られて内蔵アンテナの大きさに限界があるため、確保できる通信距離も限ら れてしまう。そこで、第 4の実施形態以降では、カードに内蔵されたアンテナ以外に磁 界を誘導する他のアンテナをさらに用いることで、確保できる通信距離を伸長させた 例を説明する。特に、本発明では、この他のアンテナを、アンテナ内蔵カード 1〜3を 挿入するソケット (例えば、図 13のカードソケット 42に相当)に内蔵することにより、部 品点数の削減と携帯情報機器の設計とを容易にさせることを実現する。 [0029] 図 15A及び図 15Bは、本発明の第 4の実施形態に係るアンテナ内蔵カード及び力 ードソケットの構造を説明する斜視図及び平面図である。図 15Aにおいて、アンテナ 内蔵カード 104は、無線通信用の第 1のアンテナ 105を内蔵した上記第 1〜第 3の実 施形態で説明したアンテナ内蔵カード 1〜3である。カードソケット 101は、アンテナ 内蔵カード 104をスロット 103に挿入するソケット部品であり、無線通信用の第 2のァ ンテナ 102及び第 2のアンテナ 102を通信周波数に同調させるためのリアクタンス素 子 307を内蔵する。典型的な第 2のアンテナ 102は、コイル状に巻かれた 1本の線で 構成される。 In the antenna built-in cards 1 to 3 described in the first to third embodiments described above, the size of the built-in antenna is limited by the card size, so that the communication distance that can be secured is limited. Therefore, in the fourth and subsequent embodiments, an example will be described in which the communication distance that can be secured is extended by further using another antenna that induces a magnetic field in addition to the antenna built in the card. In particular, in the present invention, other antennas are incorporated in sockets (for example, corresponding to the card socket 42 in FIG. 13) into which the antenna built-in cards 1 to 3 are inserted. Make it easy to design. FIG. 15A and FIG. 15B are a perspective view and a plan view for explaining the structures of the antenna built-in card and the force socket according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 15A, the antenna built-in card 104 is the antenna built-in card 1 to 3 described in the first to third embodiments, in which the first antenna 105 for wireless communication is built. The card socket 101 is a socket component that inserts the antenna built-in card 104 into the slot 103, and includes a second antenna 102 for wireless communication and a reactance element 307 for tuning the second antenna 102 to the communication frequency. To do. A typical second antenna 102 is composed of a single wire wound in a coil.
[0030] この第 1のアンテナ 105と第 2のアンテナ 102とは、アンテナ内蔵カード 104がカー ドソケット 101に挿入された場合に、アンテナ線卷方向に対する水平方向の位置関 係力 図 15Bに示す状態になることが好ましい。すなわち、第 1のアンテナ 105が、第 2のアンテナ 102の内側に重なることなく水平配置される位置関係である。このような 位置関係にすれば、第 2のアンテナ 102の効果を最大限に引き出すことができる。な お、第 1のアンテナ 105と第 2のアンテナ 102とのアンテナ線卷方向に対する垂直方 向の位置関係は、特に問わない。  [0030] The first antenna 105 and the second antenna 102 are in the state shown in FIG. 15B in the horizontal position relative to the direction of the antenna line when the antenna built-in card 104 is inserted into the card socket 101. It is preferable to become. That is, the positional relationship is such that the first antenna 105 is arranged horizontally without overlapping the second antenna 102. With such a positional relationship, the effect of the second antenna 102 can be maximized. Note that there is no particular limitation on the positional relationship between the first antenna 105 and the second antenna 102 in the vertical direction with respect to the direction of the antenna line.
[0031] 次に、第 4の実施形態に係るアンテナ内蔵カード及びカードソケットの構造によって 通信距離が延びる理由を、図 16をさらに参照して説明する。図 16は、第 2のアンテ ナ 102によって通信距離が延びるメカニズムを説明するための図である。  Next, the reason why the communication distance is extended by the structure of the antenna built-in card and the card socket according to the fourth embodiment will be described with further reference to FIG. FIG. 16 is a diagram for explaining a mechanism by which the communication distance is extended by the second antenna 102.
無線通信の送信部分にある給電アンテナ付近では磁界強度が最も強ぐ給電アン テナ力も遠ざかるにつれて磁界強度は弱くなる。ここで、磁界強度が弱い場所に、無 給電で通信周波数に同調した第 2のアンテナ 102を設置すると、第 2のアンテナ 102 に起電力が発生し、その起電力により新たな磁界が発生する。従って、図 16に示し たように、第 2のアンテナ 102付近の磁界強度力 第 2のアンテナ 102が無い時と比 較して強くなり、この強くなつた磁界の中に第 1のアンテナ 105を設置することにより、 給電アンテナからの距離が遠 ヽにもかかわらず磁界強度が強 、ため、通信距離が延 びることとなる。なお、送信の場合でも可逆性が成り立つため、受信の場合と同様に 到達距離が延びることとなる。  In the vicinity of the feeding antenna in the transmission part of wireless communication, the magnetic field strength becomes weaker as the feeding antenna force with the strongest magnetic field strength is further away. Here, if the second antenna 102 that is tuned to the communication frequency without power supply is installed in a place where the magnetic field strength is weak, an electromotive force is generated in the second antenna 102, and a new magnetic field is generated by the electromotive force. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 16, the strength of the magnetic field near the second antenna 102 is stronger than when the second antenna 102 is not present, and the first antenna 105 is placed in this strong magnetic field. The installation increases the communication distance because the magnetic field strength is strong even though the distance from the feeding antenna is long. In addition, since the reversibility holds even in the case of transmission, the reach distance is extended as in the case of reception.
[0032] 上記第 4の実施形態に係るアンテナ内蔵カード及びカードソケットによれば、第 2の アンテナ 102をカードソケット 101に内蔵することで、通信機能を備えたカードを携帯 情報機器に実装する場合に、第 2のアンテナ 102を携帯情報機器側に実装する必 要がなくなる。このため、携帯情報機器の設計が容易になると共に、構成部品点数を 肖 IJ減することがでさる。 [0032] According to the antenna built-in card and the card socket according to the fourth embodiment, the second By incorporating the antenna 102 in the card socket 101, it is not necessary to mount the second antenna 102 on the portable information device side when a card having a communication function is mounted on the portable information device.

[0039] 〔第 7の実施形態〕  [Seventh Embodiment]
図 19は、本発明の第 7の実施形態に係るアンテナ内蔵カード及びカードソケットの 構造を説明する斜視図である。図 19において、アンテナ内蔵カード 104は、無線通 信用の第 1のアンテナ 105を内蔵した上記第 1〜第 3の実施形態で説明したアンテ ナ内蔵カード 1〜3である。カードソケット 101は、アンテナ内蔵カード 104をスロット 1 03に挿入するソケット部品であり、無線通信用の第 2のアンテナ 102及び第 2のアン テナ 102を通信周波数に同調させるためのリアクタンス素子 307を内蔵する。また、 カードソケット 101は、スロット 103面以外の 3つの側面(磁界発生方向に水平な面) に磁性体材料 1220がそれぞれ貼り付けられている。  FIG. 19 is a perspective view for explaining the structure of a card with a built-in antenna and a card socket according to the seventh embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 19, the antenna built-in card 104 is the antenna built-in card 1 to 3 described in the first to third embodiments, in which the first antenna 105 for wireless communication is built. The card socket 101 is a socket part for inserting the antenna built-in card 104 into the slot 103, and has a built-in reactance element 307 for tuning the second antenna 102 and the second antenna 102 for wireless communication to the communication frequency. To do. The card socket 101 has a magnetic material 1220 attached to each of three side surfaces (surfaces parallel to the magnetic field generation direction) other than the surface of the slot 103.
[0040] 上記第 7の実施形態に係るアンテナ内蔵カード及びカードソケットによれば、カード ソケット 101の近傍に金属部品が配置されたとしても、磁性体材料 1220の効果によ つてカードソケット 101に内蔵された第 2のアンテナ 102が受ける影響を抑えることが できる。  [0040] According to the card with a built-in antenna and the card socket according to the seventh embodiment, even if a metal part is disposed in the vicinity of the card socket 101, it is built into the card socket 101 due to the effect of the magnetic material 1220. It is possible to suppress the influence received by the second antenna 102.
[0041] なお、上記第 4〜第 7の実施形態で説明した構造は一例であり、次のように適宜変 更することが可能である。  [0041] The structures described in the fourth to seventh embodiments are merely examples, and can be modified as appropriate as follows.
(1)リアクタンス素子 407を携帯情報機器の基板側に実装して、カードソケット 101と リアクタンス素子 407とを端子 408及び 409を介して接続する(図 20を参照)。このよ うにすれば、リアクタンス素子 407を自由に調整することができるので、カードソケット 101の携帯情報機器への実装状況によって生じる第 2のアンテナ 102の同調周波数 のずれに、対応することができる。 (1) The reactance element 407 is mounted on the board side of the portable information device, and the card socket 101 and the reactance element 407 are connected via terminals 408 and 409 (see FIG. 20). This In this way, since the reactance element 407 can be adjusted freely, it is possible to cope with a shift in the tuning frequency of the second antenna 102 caused by the mounting state of the card socket 101 in the portable information device.
[0042] (2)アンテナ内蔵カード 104を、第 1のアンテナ 105が接触端子 206側に配置される ように設計する(図 21を参照)。このように設計すれば、接触端子 206の裏面に第 1の アンテナ 105を設けた場合と比較して、アンテナ内蔵カード 104に実装する半導体 等の部品領域を広く取ることができる。  [0042] (2) The antenna built-in card 104 is designed so that the first antenna 105 is arranged on the contact terminal 206 side (see FIG. 21). If designed in this way, a component area such as a semiconductor mounted on the antenna built-in card 104 can be widened as compared with the case where the first antenna 105 is provided on the back surface of the contact terminal 206.
[0043] (3)カードソケット 101に内蔵する第 2のアンテナ 1002を、コイル状に巻いた線を 2本 以上並列に配置して構成する(図 22を参照。図 22は、 3本のアンテナ 1002a〜cを 用いた例を示す)。このように複数の線を並列に巻くことにより、アンテナの単位長さ 当たりの表面積が大きくなり、アンテナの Q値を高くすることができる。よって、第 2の アンテナ 1002の効果を最大限に引き出すことができる。  (3) The second antenna 1002 built in the card socket 101 is configured by arranging two or more coils wound in parallel (see FIG. 22; FIG. 22 shows three antennas Examples using 1002a-c are shown). By winding a plurality of wires in parallel in this way, the surface area per unit length of the antenna increases and the Q value of the antenna can be increased. Therefore, the effect of the second antenna 1002 can be maximized.
[0044] (4)カードソケット 701に挿入されるカード 704が、アンテナを内蔵せずに通信機能を 有した集積回路 (IC) 708だけを備えて ヽる場合、通信機能を有した集積回路 708と カードソケット 701とを接触端子 706、 707、 709及び 710を介して接続させて、無線 通信を行う(図 23を参照)。なお、この場合には、通信機能を有した集積回路 708だ けを備えたカード 704を、第 3のアンテナ 1405を備えたカードアダプタ 1404に装着 して力もカードソケット 101に挿入するといつた形態も考えられる(図 24を参照)。 上述した(1)〜 (4)の変更例は、自由に組み合わせて用いることが可能である。 産業上の利用可能性  (4) When the card 704 inserted into the card socket 701 is provided with only an integrated circuit (IC) 708 having a communication function without incorporating an antenna, the integrated circuit 708 having a communication function is provided. And card socket 701 are connected via contact terminals 706, 707, 709 and 710 to perform wireless communication (see FIG. 23). In this case, it may be considered that the card 704 having only the integrated circuit 708 having the communication function is inserted into the card adapter 1404 having the third antenna 1405 and the force is inserted into the card socket 101. (See Figure 24). The above modifications (1) to (4) can be used in any combination. Industrial applicability
[0045] 本発明は、非接触通信に代表される無線を用いた近距離通信用等のアンテナ内 蔵カードに利用可能であり、特にアンテナ内蔵カードを小型化したい場合等に有用 である。 [0045] The present invention can be used for an antenna built-in card for short-distance communication using radio typified by non-contact communication, and is particularly useful when the antenna built-in card is desired to be miniaturized.
