PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solution to one or more problems with conventional smart card modules.SOLUTION: A smart card module has: an elongated circuit substrate; a card-reader contact element disposed on one side of the substrate and connected to a smart card reader; an integrated circuit connection element disposed on another side of the substrate, connected to the card-reader contact element, and allowing an integrated circuit to be mounted thereon; and an antenna, provided on the substrate and connected to the integrated circuit connection element, for receiving radio frequency signals from the smart card reader. A furthest perimeter edge of the antenna is separated from a proximal edge of the card-reader contact element by at least half the distance between the proximal edge and a center C1 of the card-reader contact element. Thus, a larger antenna coil can be accommodated on the substrate with less overlap of the card-reader contact element, while also enabling a separate module to be integrated with the smart card. |
