This invention constructs an antenna matching circuit able to avoid a bad influence when a conductor, such as a metal, or tag, approaches a reader / writer, and dissolves a communication defect area on the reader / writer and stably maintains a communication distance. In this invention, in a RFID system, when the tag corresponds to the generating area of a magnetic field of the reader / writer, a radio wave for sending information to the reader / writer is outputted by operating a control circuit of the tag by electric power generated in an antenna coil of this corresponding tag. A conductor is arranged near the antenna coil of the reader / writer and an eddy current is intentionally flowed. Thus, the communication defect between the reader / writer and the tag approaching this reader / writer is reduced.
