Abstract

A magnetic sheet includes a sheet, line-shaped N first magnetic members arranged on the sheet and having magnetic properties, and line-shaped N second magnetic members arranged on the sheet and having magnetic properties, where N denotes the number of the first magnetic members and denotes the number of the second magnetic members.

Claims (21)

1. A magnetic sheet, comprising:

a sheet; and

line-shaped N first magnetic members arranged on the sheet and having magnetic properties, and line-shaped N second magnetic members arranged on the sheet and having magnetic properties, where N denotes number of the first magnetic members and denotes number of the second magnetic members; wherein

one of the N first magnetic members is arranged along a second axis when viewed in a direction of a first axis that is perpendicular to a principal plane of the sheet,

among the N first magnetic members, first magnetic members other than the one arranged along the second axis are arranged along third axes, number of which is denoted as (N-1), wherein the third axes are located at respective positions obtained by rotating the second axis at angular intervals of (M±5)° when viewed in the direction of the first axis, and

one of the N second magnetic members is arranged along a fourth axis that is located at a position obtained by rotating the second axis by a rotation angle θ, and second magnetic members other than the one are arranged along fifth axes that are located at respective positions obtained by rotating the third axes by the rotation angle θ respectively, with the first axis taken as the center of rotation,

where,

N is an odd number that is equal to or greater than 3,

M satisfies an equation M=(360/N)°, and

θ is not M/2°.

2. The magnetic sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

an equation θ=(M/4)° is satisfied.

3. The magnetic sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

when viewed in the direction of the first axis,

the N first magnetic members do not overlap with one another,

the N second magnetic members do not overlap with one another, and

the first magnetic members and the second magnetic members do not overlap with each other.

4. The magnetic sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

the first magnetic members and the second magnetic members exhibit a Barkhausen effect.

5. The magnetic sheet according to claim 1 , wherein

when viewed in the direction of the first axis, extension lines of the N first magnetic members do not intersect with one another at one point.
