When a sine wave is supplied from a sine wave oscillator through a
resonant capacitor selection circuit, an alternating electric and
magnetic field is generated on a loop coil. A magnetic intensity
detection coil supplies an electromagnetic field signal to a control
circuit when detecting electromagnetic intensity of the loop coil. The
control circuit controls the resonant capacitor selection circuit based
on the electromagnetic field signal and adjusts a maximum current to flow
into the loop coil. Namely, a resonant capacitor with a suitable
capacitance is selected in such a way that a resonance point (for
example, 125 kHz) reaches a maximum level. Moreover, the control circuit
adjusts a variable resistor to obtain a target electromagnetic field
signal (intensity of electromagnetic field) in this state. Namely,
automatic gain control is performed to obtain optimal electromagnetic
field intensity on the loop coil.
