Provided are an RF powder particle, an RF powder, and an RF
powder-containing base that can make it difficult to fabricate, for
example, forged documents or forged bank notes with respect to sheet-like
objects having high proprietary values, such as bank notes, and that
allow necessary information to be stored in each of the large number of
particles which are each provided with a tank circuit having a
predetermined resonant frequency.
The RF powder particle includes a coil 24 (inductance element) as a
magnetic filed coupling element and a condenser 25 (capacitance element)
connected to the both ends of the coil on an insulating surface of a
substrate 22 and is configured so as to form a tank circuit 31 by the
inductance element and the capacitance element. The tank circuit 31
functions as a circuit in a resonance state or in a non-resonance state
in accordance with conditions in response to a high-frequency magnetic
field from outside.
