the at least two antenna elements have different lengths, and

a first antenna element of the at least two antenna elements and a second antenna element of the at least two antenna elements are arranged nearly in a loop with a predetermined clearance provided between distal ends of the first and second antenna elements, such that end faces of the distal ends of the first and second antenna elements do not face each other, a lengthwise direction of an end face of the distal end of the first antenna element being approximately perpendicular to a lengthwise direction of the end face of the distal end of the second antenna element, and

wherein each of the lengths of the at least two antenna elements corresponds to a frequency of a radio wave which each of the at least two antenna elements at least one of transmits and receives.

2. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the at least two antenna elements is formed on a support base member having an electric insulation property in a form of a thin film.

3. The antenna apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the at least two antenna elements are provided on different sides of the support base member.

4. The antenna apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the first antenna element is provided on a peripheral end face of the support base member, and the second antenna element is provided on a flat face portion of the support base member along a peripheral end portion thereof

5. The antenna apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the support base member is provided retainable in a casing of a portable communication terminal apparatus.

6. An antenna apparatus comprising:

a first antenna element which at least one of transmits and receives radio waves of a predetermined frequency band;

a second antenna element which at least one of transmits and receives radio waves of a frequency band different from the predetermined frequency band;

wherein the first antenna element and the second antenna element are arranged nearly in a loop with distal ends thereof being apart from each other by a predetermined distance, such that a lengthwise direction of an end face of a distal end of the first antenna element is different from the lengthwise direction of an end face of the distal end of the second antenna element, and such that an extension direction of the first antenna element near the distal end of the first antenna element is approximately parallel to an extension direction of the second antenna element near the distal end of the second antenna element.

7. The antenna apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first antenna element and the second antenna element are arranged in a vicinity of each other such that the lengthwise direction of the end face of the distal end of the first antenna element is approximately perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the end face of the distal end of the second antenna element.

8. The antenna apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the first antenna element and the second antenna element are arranged such that the end face of the distal end of the first antenna element does not overlie an imaginary end face of the distal end of the second antenna element when the second antenna element is extended in the extension direction.

9. An antenna apparatus having at least two antenna elements branched from one power feed point,

wherein the at least two antenna elements have different lengths,

a first antenna element of the at least two antenna elements and a second antenna element of the at least two antenna elements are arranged nearly in a loop with a predetermined clearance provided between distal ends of the first antenna element and the second antenna element,

each of the at least two antenna elements is arranged on a support base member, and

the first antenna element is provided on a peripheral end face of the support base member, and the second antenna element is provided on a flat face portion, which is different from the peripheral end face, of the support base member along a peripheral end portion thereof.

10. The antenna apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the first antenna element and the second antenna element are arranged such that an extension direction of the first antenna element near the distal end the first antenna element is approximately parallel to the extension direction of the second antenna element near the distal end of the second antenna element.
