Antenna device
An antenna device incorporated in an electronic apparatus and communicating with an external device via an electromagnetic field signal, including: an antenna coil inductively coupled to the external device and provided by winding around a conducting wire in planar shape; a magnetic sheet arranged to overlap with the antenna coil mutually along the antenna coil by inserting the magnetic sheet into a coil opening provided at center side of the antenna coil; and a metallic cover formed with an opening near an end of the metallic cover and arranged at surface side of the antenna coil opposing to the external device, wherein the antenna coil is arranged to overlap with the metallic cover in a region between the opening and the end of the metallic cover at a backside surface of the metallic cover opposite to a surface of the metallic cover opposing to the external device.
1. An antenna device incorporated in an electronic apparatus and communicating with an external device via an electromagnetic field signal, the antenna device comprising:
an antenna coil inductively coupled to the external device, the antenna coil being formed by winding around a conducting wire in planar shape;
a magnetic sheet arranged to overlap with the antenna coil mutually along the antenna coil by inserting the magnetic sheet into a coil opening provided at center side of the antenna coil; and
a metallic cover formed with an opening near an end of the metallic cover and arranged at surface side of the antenna coil opposing to the external device, the antenna coil being arranged to overlap with the metallic cover in a region between the opening and the end of the metallic cover at a backside surface of the metallic cover opposite to a surface of the metallic cover opposing to the external device, the magnetic sheet being formed with an absent part at a position overlapped with the opening of the metallic cover, the magnetic sheet extending along the metallic cover, then bending downward to extend through an opening in an antenna substrate on which the antenna coil is formed, and then extending on an opposite side of the antenna substrate relative to the metallic cover, and the antenna coil and the magnetic sheet are arranged not to overlap with the opening of the metallic cover.
2. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna coil has an elongated rectangular shape formed by winding around the conducting wire such that conducting wires opposing in a width direction via the coil opening are proximate to each other.
3. The antenna device according to claim 2 , wherein the magnetic sheet is arranged to overlap with the antenna coil mutually along the antenna coil by inserting the magnetic sheet into the coil opening such that the magnetic sheet is provided over both ends of the coil opening.
4. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna coil is wound around to bypass the absent part.
5. The antenna device according to claim 4 , wherein the absent part is a recess formed to reduce an area of the magnetic sheet when the magnetic sheet is viewed in a planar view.
6. The antenna device according to claim 5 , wherein the antenna coil is divided into a first side part in which the conducting wire is wound around in one direction and a second side part in which the conducting wire is wound around in another direction, the antenna coil being divided via a center line longitudinally traversing the coil opening, and intervals of the conducting wire of the first side part are identical with intervals of the conducting wire of the second side part.
7. The antenna device according to claim 4 , wherein the absent part is an opening formed to reduce an area of the magnetic sheet when the magnetic sheet is viewed in a planar view.
8. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic sheet is arranged to overlap with the antenna coil mutually along the antenna coil by inserting the magnetic sheet into the coil opening such that the magnetic sheet is provided over both ends of the coil opening.
