The antenna has an annular shape in a plan view from a first direction, has at least an outer peripheral edge and an inner peripheral edge, and has at least one of a notch and a hole. The at least one contact member electrically connects the solar panel and the circuit board. The solar panel, the antenna, and the circuit board are arranged in order from the first direction. The contact member is at a position corresponding to the at least one of the notch and the hole.
Abstract:
A time information obtaining device and a radio-controlled timepiece are shown. According to one implementation, the time information obtaining device includes the following. A code identifying section identifies each code of a code string in a radio wave. A first portion parity calculating section calculates a portion parity where a parity bit of a variable code is subtracted from a parity code showing a parity bit for a code string portion. A first portion parity deciding section decides a portion parity based on a calculated number of portion parities. A second portion parity deciding section obtains a portion parity from an invariable code other than the variable code. A parity confirming section confirms a match between the portion parities decided by the first portion parity deciding section and the second portion parity deciding section.
Abstract:
An adjustment method for an antenna device including an antenna, an adjustment circuit including first and second circuits connected in series with the antenna and a communication circuit connected with the adjustment circuit includes: determining constants of the first circuit such that at two frequencies, values of first resistance of first impedance as viewed from an output end of the first circuit toward the antenna each are equal to resistance of target impedance, and absolute values of first reactance of the first impedance are different from one another; and determining constants of the second circuit such that at the frequencies, while values of second resistance of second impedance as viewed from an output end of the adjustment circuit toward the antenna are kept at the values of the first resistance, values of second reactance of the second impedance each are a complex conjugate with reactance of the target impedance.
