Antenna device
An antenna device includes a ground section including a planar section, a feeding section, a first feeding element arranged along the planar section of the ground section, and a second feeding element including a loop-like body portion arranged parallel to the first feeding element at a predetermined distance from the first feeding element, the loop-like body portion including one end portion bent to be electrically connected to the ground section, and the other end portion bent to be electrically connected to the feeding section. Both of the one end portion and the other end portion of the second feeding element are provided in a vicinity of an outer periphery of the ground section.
1. An antenna device, comprising:
a ground section including a planar section;
a feeding section;
a first feeding element arranged along the planar section of the ground section; and
a second feeding element including a loop-like body portion arranged parallel to the first feeding element at a predetermined distance from the first feeding element, the loop-like body portion including one end portion bent to be electrically connected to the ground section, and another end portion bent to be electrically connected to the feeding section,
wherein both of the one end portion and the another end portion of the second feeding element are provided in a vicinity of an outer periphery of the ground section; and
wherein balanced feeding is performed by the first feeding element and the second feeding element.
2. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein an area of a region enclosed within an outer periphery of the first feeding element is equal to or more than an area of a region enclosed within the loop-like body portion of the second feeding element.
3. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the second feeding element is shorter than a wavelength of a radio wave to be received by the second feeding element, and the ground section is a plate-like member which has an area smaller than an area based on the wavelength of the radio wave to be received by the second feeding element.
4. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the first feeding element and the second feeding element are connected to each other through a balun.
5. The antenna device according to claim 4 , further comprising a matching section to perform impedance matching between the balun and the feeding section.
6. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the first feeding element includes a plurality of first feeding elements and the second feeding element includes a plurality of second feeding elements, and lengths of the respective second feeding elements are different from one another.
7. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the second feeding element is based on a wavelength of a radio wave in any one of a 800 MHz band and 1800 MHz band.
