Abstract

According to one embodiment, an antenna device includes a short circuit path, a first open-ended element, a feed side element, a second open-ended element, and a short circuit element. A length, from a ground point to a second end of the first open-ended element through the short circuit path and the first open-ended element, is substantially a quarter of a wavelength of a first resonant frequency. A length, from the ground point to a second end of the second open-ended element through the short circuit path, the short circuit element, and the second open-ended element, is substantially a quarter of a wavelength of a second resonant frequency.

a first open-ended element that has a second end being open, and extends from a second end of the short circuit path;

a feed side element that extends from near the feed point in a direction in which the first open-ended element extends to have an edge close to ground;

a second open-ended element that has a second end being open, and extends from a point connected to the feed side element in the direction in which the first open-ended element extends; and

a short circuit element that connects between a first end of the first open-ended element and either a point on an edge of the feed side element opposite the edge close to the ground or a point on the second open-ended element, wherein

a length, from the ground point to the second end of the first open-ended element through the short circuit path and the first open-ended element, is substantially a quarter of a wavelength of a first resonant frequency, and

a length, from the ground point to the second end of the second open-ended element through the short circuit path, the short circuit element, and the second open-ended element, is substantially a quarter of a wavelength of a second resonant frequency.

2. The antenna device of claim 1 , wherein the feed point is spaced apart from the ground point in the direction in which the first open-ended element extends by a distance equal to or less than substantially a twentieth of the wavelength of lower one of the first resonant frequency or the second resonant frequency.

3. The antenna device of claim 1 , wherein the feed side element has a length equal to or more than substantially a fiftieth of the wavelength of lower one of the first resonant frequency or the second resonant frequency in the direction in which the first open-ended element extends.
