  • Patent number: 11942702
    Abstract: The wireless communication apparatus includes a metal frame which encloses a side surface of a main body portion formed in a plate shape, and a ground plate which is housed in the main body portion. The metal frame includes a monopole antenna which is electrically connected to a feeding point at an intermediate portion of a first frame defined by a first gap and a second gap provided on the metal frame and which resonates with a radio wave at a first frequency defined by the intermediate portion and the second gap, a first conductive portion, and a second conductive portion. A length combining the monopole antenna and the first conductive portion is a length enabling the monopole antenna and the first conductive portion to resonate with a radio wave at the first frequency as a loop antenna.

  • Publication number: 20230291116
    Abstract: An antenna device includes a metal layer for forming an antenna element in a predetermined planar shape and a ground arranged on a lower side of the metal layer. The metal layer forms a first metal forming the planar shape, a notch portion formed at the first metal, and cutting out a part of an edge of the planar shape, a second metal being an electromagnetic field coupling element arranged with a predetermined distance spaced from the first metal inside the notch portion, and a feeder line formed outside the planar shape, and to be connected with the second metal via an opening portion of the notch portion. For the second metal, a width at the opening portion is smaller than a maximum width at a portion more inside the notch portion than the opening portion.
