    摘要: An antenna apparatus having a substrate, an antenna on the substrate, and a power supply circuit element on the substrate and connected to the antenna. The antenna includes coil-shaped first and second coil antenna units respectively having coil axes that intersect with the substrate. The first coil antenna unit and the second coil antenna unit are arranged on the substrate such that a direction in which a current flows through one of the coil antenna units is clockwise and a direction in which the current flows through the other of the coil antenna units is counterclockwise. The power supply circuit element is positioned between the first coil antenna unit and the second coil antenna unit.

    摘要: An article management system includes multiple reader devices that read the RFID tags attached to the articles. Moreover, a central terminal partitions an article management area into multiple middle areas that are in turn partitioned into small areas, and then causes reader devices arranged in two or more small areas to work in a predetermined order for each small area, to read information of the RFID tags. The range of radio wave interference distance assumed for a reader device in a first middle area partially overlaps with a second middle area. Thus, when causing the reader devices arranged in the first middle area to work in order, the central terminal controls a reader device in the second middle area that lies outside the range of radio wave interference distance from a reader device working in the first middle area.

    摘要: A reader device is provided having a wider readable area and a table with the reader device. The reader device includes an antenna element communicating with an RFID tag attached to an article, a reader module electrically connected to the antenna element and reading information of the RFID tag through the antenna element, and a case housing the antenna element and the reader module. Moreover, the antenna element includes a first dipole antenna having a first element axis extending in a first direction, and a second dipole antenna having a second element axis extending in a second direction crossing the first direction.
