  • Patent number: 11381003
    Abstract: An antenna device including: a substrate; a plurality of antenna elements supported by the substrate, each of the antenna elements having a feeding point; and a parasitic element supported by the substrate and having no feeding point, in which the plurality of antenna elements is disposed to be spaced apart from each other along a predetermined direction, the parasitic element is mutually spaced apart in the direction from a first antenna element located on an end side in the direction among the plurality of antenna elements, and a first element interval between the parasitic element and the first antenna element is equal to or less than twice a second element interval between the first antenna element and a second antenna element located on an opposite side of the parasitic element with respect to the first antenna element.

  • Patent number: 9761925
    Abstract: An antenna that includes a first element extending from a connection point, and has a curvature such that a first tip end of the first element extends in a direction toward the connection point. A second element is connected to the connection point, and has a second tip end that extends in a direction away from the connection point, the second tip being disposed within an outer periphery of the first element. A distance between a portion of the first element that is parallel to the second element is greater than ?gx/100, where ?gx represents an effective wavelength of a first anti-resonance frequency.
