a grounding portion formed in the other side-corner portion of the mutually opposite side-corner portions of the notch slit.

2. The wideband antenna according to claim 1 , wherein:

the odd-shaped slit with a laterally elongated rhombic or tapered shape is formed to be positioned on the upper side of the rectangular conductor sheet, and a grounding portion is formed on the lower side of the rectangular conductor sheet to the odd-shaped slit.

3. The wideband antenna according to claim 1 , wherein:

the power-feeding portion is electrically connected to the rectangular conductor sheet.
