Antenna device and communication device
An antenna device including a substrate; and an antenna element at least partially connected to the substrate by reflow soldering.
1 . An antenna device comprising:
a substrate; and
an antenna element at least partially connected to the substrate by reflow soldering, the antenna element being configured as a monopole antenna,
wherein the antenna element includes a pedestal that abuts the substrate.
2 . The antenna device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the antenna element is partially inserted into a through-hole provided in the substrate.
3 . The antenna device according to claim 1 ,
wherein a structure is provided at an end portion of the antenna element opposite the pedestal, wherein the structure is wider than a portion of the antenna element between the pedestal and the structure.
4 . The antenna device according to claim 2 ,
wherein a structure is provided at an end portion of the antenna element opposite the pedestal, wherein the structure is wider than a portion of the antenna element between the pedestal and the structure.
5 . A communication device comprising:
the antenna device according to claim 1 ; and
an element at least partially connected to the substrate and processing a signal transmitted and received by the antenna device.
6 . The antenna device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pedestal is electrically conductive.
7 . The antenna device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the pedestal supports the antenna element substantially perpendicularly to the substrate.
8 . The antenna device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the structure is a separate member attached to the antenna element.
