When the output voltage equal to or higher than the minimum operating voltage cannot be obtained from the rectifier circuit, the response signal is prevented from being transmitted, so that an erroneous response signal is not transmitted, and the reliability of communication is increased.
Since the warning signal is transmitted when the response signal is not transmitted, the wireless interrogation device can easily identify that the wireless transponder is out of the electric field strength range in which the wireless transponder can perform an appropriate operation.
