As a result, the movement speed (conveyance speed) of the RFID tagged syringe 101 can be increased, and the throughput of the RFID communication system can be increased.

Abstract
Description
前記RFIDアンテナはダイポールアンテナであり、当該ダイポールアンテナは前記第1方向に対して平行に配置される。
X2=60mm
Y1=10mm
Y2=8mm
導体ループ部の開口25の面に対する垂直方向に視て、導体ループ部の開口25は、図2、図3に示したコイルアンテナ(RFIDタグアンテナ)70Lより大きい。図2、図3に示したコイルアンテナ70Lの寸法は例えば1.2mm×1.2mmである。つまり、導体ループ部の開口25内にコイルアンテナ70Lのループが入る。なお、コイルアンテナ70Lの長手方向の寸法が導体ループ部の開口25の短手方向の寸法より大きくても、導体ループ部の開口25の面に対する垂直方向に視て、導体ループ部の開口25内にコイルアンテナ70Lが収まる関係であればよい。さらには、コイルアンテナ70Lの開口と導体ループ部の開口25が導体ループ部の開口25の面に対する垂直方向に視て、重なっていればよい。換言すれば、コイルアンテナ70Lは導体ループ部の開口25に収まっていなくとも、導体ループ部の開口25とコイルアンテナ70Lの開口とが重なる領域があればよく、コイルアンテナ70Lが導体ループ部の開口25からはみ出ていてもよい。より効率的に磁界結合させるには、導体ループ部の開口25とコイルアンテナ70Lの開口の重なる領域を大きくすればよく、導体ループ部の開口25の中にコイルアンテナ70Lが収まる関係が最も効率がよい。
