Patent ID: 7352285

Claim:
An IC tag mounting for a connector having a wireless IC tag mounted on the connector, the wireless IC tag including an IC chip to record information and an antenna to conduct wireless transmission of the information recorded on the IC chip, the IC tag mounting comprising: a first connector having the IC chip and a first antenna mounted thereon, the first antenna being capable of transmitting the information recorded on the IC chip; and a second connector having an auxiliary antenna mounted thereon to amplify a transmission emitted by said first antenna and for transmitting the amplified transmission, said auxiliary antenna being a plane antenna, wherein said auxiliary antenna is mounted so as to be located in a position suitable for amplifying the transmission emitted by said first antenna when said first connector and said second connector are connected with each other in a normal fashion, and wherein said auxiliary antenna is mounted so as to surround an insertion end in an accepting frame at right angles to an insertion direction of said second connector, take a shape of, and have an electrical length of λ/2, where λ is a wavelength of a radio wave use in said transmission.
