Abstract

An antenna including a rectangular ground plane, a feed point disposed in a vicinity of a corner of the ground plane, an antenna element coupled to the feed point, and a parasitic element coupled to the ground plane. In this antenna, the shortest length from the feed point to a distant narrow side of the ground plane and a shortest length from the feed point to a tip of the parasitic element via the ground plane have substantially the same electrical length. Such a configuration can correspond to a small and thin size and reduce SAR easily.

Claims (10)

1. An antenna comprising:

a rectangular ground plane;

a feed point disposed in a vicinity of a corner of the ground plane;

an antenna element coupled to the feed point; and

a parasitic element coupled to the ground plane,

wherein a shortest length from the feed point to a distant narrow side of the ground plane and a shortest length from the feed point to a tip of the parasitic element via the ground plane have substantially same electrical length.

2. The antenna of claim 1 , wherein an inductor is disposed between the ground plane and the parasitic element, or in a middle of the parasitic element, or at the tip of the parasitic element.

3. The antenna of claim 1 , wherein a switch is disposed between the ground plane and the parasitic element.

4. The antenna of claim 1 , further comprising a holding portion made of insulating resin,

wherein the holding portion holds the antenna element and the parasitic element.
