  • Patent number: 10084229
    Abstract: This disclosure provides an antenna apparatus in which stable antenna characteristics are maintained by detecting surrounding conditions that affect the antenna characteristics and appropriately compensating the antenna characteristics. More specifically, when surrounding condition such as a human body (e.g., a palm or fingers) approaches and enters an electric field of a pseudo dipole formed by an antenna element electrode, a stray capacitance is sensed and stable antenna characteristics are maintained by appropriately controlling an antenna matching circuit to compensate for a change in the antenna characteristics due to the approach of the surrounding condition.

  • Patent number: 9070490
    Abstract: A transmission line portion of a flat cable that is bent at a position along the longitudinal direction includes a dielectric element body, a first ground conductor, and a second ground conductor. The dielectric element body includes a signal conductor at the middle position of the thickness direction. The first ground conductor includes elongated conductors and bridge conductors. The elongated conductors are spaced in the width direction of the dielectric element body, and extend in the longitudinal direction. The bridge conductors connect the elongated conductors at spacings along the longitudinal direction. The spacing of bridge conductors across the bending point in a bent portion is smaller than the spacing of adjacent bridge conductors located in a straight portion.
