Abstract

Disclosed is a low-loss and flexible transmission line-integrated antenna for an mmWave band. The low-loss and flexible transmission line-integrated antenna includes an antenna and a transmission line integrated with the antenna. Here, the antenna includes a dielectric substrate formed of a dielectric having a certain thickness on a ground plate, a signal conversion portion which is formed on the dielectric substrate and converts an electrical signal of a mobile communication terminal into an electromagnetic signal and radiates the electromagnetic signal into the air or receives an electromagnetic signal in the air and converts the electromagnetic signal into an electrical signal of the mobile communication terminal, and an electricity feeding portion formed on the dielectric substrate and connected to the signal conversion portion.
