Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic-coupling-module-attached article comprising: an article; an electromagnetic-coupling module including a radio IC chip and a feeder circuit board attached to the article; wherein the radio IC chip is mounted on the feeder circuit board; the feeder circuit board includes a feeder circuit including a resonant circuit having a predetermined resonant frequency; the article includes a radiation element that performs at least one of the functions of: radiating a transmission signal supplied from the feeder circuit of the electromagnetic-coupling module via electromagnetic coupling, and supplying a received reception signal to the feeder circuit via electromagnetic coupling; the radiation element is defined by at least one of a metal portion and a dielectric portion of the article; the at least one of the metal portion and the dielectric portion of the article is an essential element of the article enabling the article to perform its original function; the at least one of the metal portion and the dielectric portion of the article performs another function in addition to the at least one of the functions of: radiating a transmission signal supplied from the feeder circuit of the electromagnetic-coupling module via electromagnetic coupling, and supplying a received reception signal to the feeder circuit via electromagnetic coupling; and a frequency of the transmission signal radiated from the radiation element is substantially equal to the predetermined resonant frequency of the resonant circuit.
