Abstract

A coil antenna is mounted on a circuit substrate. A wiring pattern is disposed on the circuit substrate and connects the coil antenna and a feed circuit. A conductive pattern is disposed on the circuit substrate and located outside a region surrounded by the coil antenna, feed circuit, and wiring pattern. A conductive pattern is disposed on the circuit substrate and located inside the region surrounded by the coil antenna, feed circuit, and wiring pattern. Connection conductors connect the conductive pattern and conductive pattern and are disposed on the circuit substrate. The connection conductor includes interlayer connection conductors.
