  • 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.

  • Patent number: 10587045
    Abstract: An antenna device includes: a ground plane having an edge; a matching circuit; and a T-shaped antenna element including a first element and a second element extending from a feed point to a first and second end parts. The first element has a resonance frequency that is higher than a first frequency. The second element has a resonance frequency between a second frequency and a third frequency. A first value obtained by dividing a length from a corresponding point to a first bend part by the first wavelength is less than or equal to a second value obtained by dividing a length from the corresponding point to a second bend part by the second wavelength. An imaginary component of an impedance of the matching circuit takes a positive value at the first frequency and the second frequency and takes a negative value at the third frequency.
