Abstract

A composite magnetic antenna for information communication utilizes a magnetic field component as well as a composite RF tag using the composite magnetic antenna, which can be embedded in metals while maintaining a sufficient communication sensitivity unlike conventional RF tags which are unusable in the metal embedding applications. The composite RF tag for transmitting and receiving information using an electromagnetic induction method includes a magnetic antenna on which an IC is mounted, and an insulating material and a metal material or a conductive material which are formed around the magnetic antenna. The magnetic antenna includes a central core formed of a magnetic material, and an electrode material formed into a coil around the central core. The insulating material is formed around the magnetic antenna except for one longitudinal end of the coil of the magnetic antenna. The metal material or the conductive material is formed on an outside of the insulating material.
