Abstract: In a transceiver, on a top surface of a rectangular plate-shaped substrate, transmission radiating elements and receiving radiating elements are provided. The transmission radiating elements extend in the horizontal or lateral direction from the center of the substrate. The receiving radiating elements extend in the vertical or longitudinal direction from the center of the substrate. Inductors included in a matching feeding element are individually electromagnetically coupled to transmission-side feeding points that are inner end portions of the transmission radiating elements and receiving-side feeding points that are inner end portions of the receiving radiating elements. A transmission signal is transmitted with a wave polarized in the horizontal or lateral direction, and a signal having a vertical or longitudinal polarization direction is received.

Abstract: An antenna device includes an impedance-matching switching circuit connected to a feeding circuit, and a radiating element. The impedance-matching switching circuit matches the impedance of the radiating element as a second high frequency circuit element and the impedance of the feeding circuit as a first high frequency circuit element. The impedance-matching switching circuit includes a transformer matching circuit and a series active circuit. The transformer matching circuit matches the real parts of the impedance and matches the imaginary parts of the impedance in the series active circuit. Thus, impedance matching is performed over a wide frequency band at a point at which high frequency circuits or elements having different impedances are connected to each other.
