Abstract
A wireless communication module includes a multilayer structure including a magnetic block and at least one non-magnetic layer stacked on the magnetic block, the magnetic block including at least one magnetic layer, at least one inductor element disposed at the magnetic block, and an antenna coil disposed at the non-magnetic layer so as to overlap the inductor element in a planar view along a stacking direction of the non-magnetic layer with respect to the magnetic block, wherein the magnetic layer is present between the inductor element and the antenna coil.
Claims9
A communication terminal apparatus comprising:
- an integrated circuit (IC) chip including first and second terminals, that executes a preset signal process;
- an antenna circuit including one end and another end, the one end being connected to the first terminal and the another end being connected to the second terminal;
- and
- a filter circuit including first and second inductor elements, the first inductor element being connected between the first terminal of the IC chip and the one end of the antenna circuit, and the second inductor element being connected between the second terminal of the IC chip and the another end of the antenna circuit;
- wherein
- the antenna circuit includes an antenna coil;
- the antenna coil and the first and second inductor elements are integrally provided in or on a multilayer structure, the multilayer structure including a magnetic block and at least one non-magnetic layer stacked on the magnetic block, the magnetic block including at least one magnetic layer;
- the first and second inductor elements are disposed at the magnetic block;
- the antenna coil is disposed at the non-magnetic layer;
- and
- the magnetic layer and the non-magnetic layer of the multilayer structure are disposed between the first and second inductor elements and the antenna coil.
