Antenna switching equipment switches antennas for a reader/writer. A power
generation unit generates electric power from an RF signal outputted from
the reader/writer. A switching signal generation unit, operating on
electric power generated by the power generation unit, generates a
switching signal for specifying an antenna port to be used from among a
plurality of antenna ports. A high frequency switch unit, operating on
electric power generated by the power generation unit, switches a
connection between the reader/writer and one of a plurality of antenna
ports based on a switching signal generated by the switching signal
generation unit.
