  • Patent number: 7432870
    Abstract: A planar antenna includes first and second radiation elements. A first partial periphery of the first radiation element and a second partial periphery of the second radiation element face each other at a uniform gap equal to or less than a tenth of the length of the first partial periphery. The first radiation element includes a third partial periphery parallel to a straight line for connecting the both ends of the first partial periphery, a feeding point at a central portion of the first partial periphery, and a slit having an opened end and a closed end. A distance from the feeding point to the opened end along the slit through the closed end is longer than a sum of a half of the first partial periphery and a longer one of the other two partial peripheries.
