Abstract:
1. An antenna, comprising: a base substrate; a coil formed from a conductor wound around the base substrate; and a plurality of terminals connected to the conductor, wherein a base substrate portion where the conductor is absent is formed on the base substrate except a start and end of turns of the coil, the plurality of terminals are provided on respective sides of the coil, the respective sides of the coil being parallel to a coil axis, the plurality of terminals are not in physical contact with the base substrate, the plurality of terminals are located in areas adjacent to the base substrate portion where the conductor is absent and extend in an outward direction from the respective sides of the coil being parallel to the coil axis, the plurality of terminals does not overlap with an interior area which is substantially perpendicular to the coil axis of the coil and which is surrounded by the conductor of the coil, wherein the base substrate has edge faces that intersect with the coil axis; and wherein a conductive body is not provided on each of the edge faces, wherein each of a terminal of the plurality of terminals is provided substantially at four corners of the coil, and the conductor is connected to two terminals of the plurality of terminals, the conductor being located among the plurality of terminals, which are placed on both sides of the base substrate with a coil axis interposed therebetween.
