Abstract

An antenna apparatus includes a ground substrate, a feeding point provided on the ground substrate, a first conductor device of which one end is electrically connected to the feeding point and which has a plate shape being parallel to the ground substrate, a second conductor device which is arranged between the first conductor device and the ground substrate, of which one end is electrically connected to the ground substrate, and which has a plate shape being parallel to the ground substrate and a connecting portion which electrically connects another end of the first conductor device and another end of the second conductor device to each other. A width of the first conductor device is wider than a width of the second conductor device. Lengths of the first conductor device and the second conductor device are ½ of a wavelength of a radio wave for operating the antenna apparatus.

Claims (34)

1. An antenna apparatus, comprising:

a ground substrate;

a feeding point provided on the ground substrate;

a first conductor device of which one end is electrically connected to the feeding point and which has a plate shape being parallel to the ground substrate;

a second conductor device which is arranged between the first conductor device and the ground substrate, of which one end is electrically connected to the ground substrate, and which has a plate shape being parallel to the ground substrate; and

a connecting portion which electrically connects another end of the first conductor device and another end of the second conductor device to each other, wherein

a width of the first conductor device is wider than a width of the second conductor device, and

lengths of the first conductor device and the second conductor device are ½ of a wavelength of a radio wave for operating the antenna apparatus, wherein

a grounded metal member is further provided at a distance of 1/50 or less of the wavelength of the radio wave for operating the antenna apparatus from at least one of the one end of the first conductor device and the connecting portion.

2. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

a length of the connecting portion is 1/50 or less of the wavelength of the radio wave for operating the antenna apparatus.

3. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of an inductor and a capacitor is provided between the feeding point and the first conductor device.

4. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of an inductor and a capacitor is provided between the second conductor device and the ground substrate.

5. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the antenna apparatus is mounted to a mobile terminal apparatus, and

at least a part of the first conductor device is formed by a metal frame which constitutes an exterior of the mobile terminal apparatus.

6. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the antenna apparatus is mounted to a mobile terminal apparatus, and

at least a part of the second conductor device is formed using Laser Direct Structuring (LDS) or a flexible substrate.

7. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

at least one of the first conductor device and the second conductor device is formed in a meander shape.

8. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a third conductor device which is connected to the one end of the first conductor device and which has a plate shape being parallel to the ground substrate, wherein

a length of the third conductor device is ¼ or less of a wavelength of a radio wave for operating the third conductor device as an antenna.

9. The antenna apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein

at least one of an inductor and a capacitor is provided between the feeding point and the third conductor device.

10. The antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising

a fourth conductor device being connected to the ground substrate, wherein

a length of the fourth conductor device is ¼ or less of a wavelength of a radio wave for operating the fourth conductor device as an antenna.

11. A wireless communication apparatus mounted with the antenna apparatus according to claim 1 .

12. A wireless communication apparatus mounted with the antenna apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the metal member is an exterior of the wireless communication apparatus.
