An IC inlet, comprising:
- a circuit substrate;
- a pair of electrode parts formed on a surface of the circuit substrate;
- at least one IC chip mounted to the electrode parts;
- and
- an antenna connected to the electrode parts,
- wherein at least one of the electrode parts is configured such that, during mounting of the at least one IC chip to the electrode parts, an area of overlap between the IC chip and the at least one of the electrode parts can be adjusted by changing a mounting position of the IC chip, and
- wherein the mounting position of the IC chip is set to adjust a capacitance of the overlap between the IC chip and the at least one of the electrode parts such that a resonance frequency of the IC inlet is tuned to a predetermined frequency.
An IC tag, comprising:
- an IC inlet including:
- a circuit substrate;
- a pair of electrode parts formed on a surface of the circuit substrate, wherein at least one of the electrode parts is configured such that, when at least one IC chip is mounted on electrode parts, an area of an overlap between the IC chip and the at least one of the electrode parts can be adjusted by changing a mounting position of the IC chip;
- at least one IC chip mounted on the electrode parts;
- and
- an antenna unit coupled to the electrode parts,
- wherein the mounting position of the IC chip is set to adjust a capacitance of the overlap between the IC chip and the at least one of the electrode parts such that a resonance frequency of the IC tag is tuned to a predetermined frequency.
A method of fabricating an IC inlet, comprising:
- mounting at least one IC chip to a pair of electrode parts formed on a surface of a circuit substrate,
- wherein at least one of the electrode parts is configured such that a capacitance due to an overlap of the at least one IC chip and the electrode parts can be controlled by adjusting a mounting position of each IC chip, and
- wherein mounting the at least one IC chip further comprises tuning a resonance frequency of the IC inlet to a predetermined value by adjusting the mounting position of each IC chip.
