Abstract

An antenna device includes first and second coils. A portion of the first coil overlaps a coil opening of the second coil, and a portion of the second coil overlaps a coil opening of the first coil. The first coil includes a first coil conductor on a first surface of a base material and a first coil conductor on a second surface. The first coil includes a single-layer portion in which the first coil conductor is only on the first surface of the base material, and the second coil conductor intersects the first coil conductor at a portion facing the single-layer portion on the second surface of the base material.
