  • Patent number: 6288680
    Abstract: An antenna apparatus 10 includes a chip antenna 14 provided with a conductor 11, a power-supply electrode 12 to which one end of the conductor 11 is connected, and a terminal electrode 13 to which the other end of the conductor is connected; and a mounting substrate 18 provided with a line-shaped radiative conductor 15 formed by printing an electrically conductive material on a surface, a line-shaped conductive pattern 16, and a substantially rectangular ground electrode 17. The chip antenna 14 is mounted on the mounting substrate 18. The power-supply electrode 12 of the chip antenna 14 is connected through the conductive pattern 16 on the mounting substrate 18 to a power-supply source V. The terminal electrode 13 of the chip antenna 14 is connected to one end of the radiative conductor 15 on the mounting substrate 18.
