Composite antenna
A composite antenna achieves favorable radiation characteristics and favorable communication performance, and can be used in short distance communication as well as long distance communication. The composite antenna includes a dipole antenna having an elongated shape, a loop antenna including at least one pair of opposing end portions, and a connection portion arranged to connect the dipole antenna and a point of the loop antenna at which the amplitude of a current flowing in the loop antenna has a maximum value. The dipole antenna performs long distance communication utilizing an electric field, and the loop antenna performs short distance communication utilizing a magnetic field. This composite antenna may be used as a wireless IC device in RFID systems.
