Abstract

An antenna includes: a substrate on or in which an antenna element part having an open end, a signal line connected to the antenna element part, and a first ground conductor connected to the antenna element part are formed; and a printed wiring board in which a second ground conductor electrically connected to the first ground conductor is formed in a different layer from the first ground conductor, wherein the second ground conductor has a shield part that partially overlaps with the antenna element part including a connection part between the antenna element part and the signal line and a connection part between the antenna element part and the first ground conductor and does not overlap with the open end of the antenna element part when viewed from a normal direction of the printed wiring board.

Claims (30)

1. An antenna comprising:

a substrate on or in which an antenna element part having an open end, a signal line connected to the antenna element part, and a first ground conductor connected to the antenna element part are formed; and

a printed wiring board in which a second ground conductor electrically connected to the first ground conductor is formed in a different layer from the first ground conductor,

wherein the second ground conductor has a shield part that partially overlaps with the antenna element part including a connection part between the antenna element part and the signal line and a connection part between the antenna element part and the first ground conductor and does not overlap with the open end of the antenna element part when viewed from a normal direction of the printed wiring board.

2. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein

a first layer and a second layer are formed on or in the substrate,

the antenna element part, the first ground conductor, and the signal line are formed in the first layer, and

the second ground conductor is formed in the second layer.

3. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein

the antenna element part has a first part and a second part bent from the first part in a direction intersecting the first part,

an end in the second part side of the antenna element part is connected to the first ground conductor, and

the signal line is formed in a side to which the second part is bent, and is connected to the first part.

4. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein, when viewed from the normal direction of the printed wiring board, an end of the shield part in the open end side of the antenna element part is located between a point at a distance of one-tenth the total length of the antenna element part from the open end of the antenna element part and the connection part between the antenna element part and the signal line.

5. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein

the substrate has a high permittivity part whose relative permittivity is higher than other parts, and

the high permittivity part is provided in a region where the antenna element part including the connection part between the antenna element part and the signal line and the connection part between the antenna element part and the first ground conductor partially overlaps with the shield part when viewed from the normal direction of the printed wiring board.

6. The antenna according to claim 5 , wherein a relative permittivity of the high permittivity part is higher than or equal to 28 and lower than or equal to 32.

7. The antenna according to claim 6 , wherein a dielectric of the high permittivity part is a ceramics material.

8. A wireless communication device comprising an antenna, wherein the antenna has

a substrate on or in which an antenna element part having an open end, a signal line connected to the antenna element part, and a first ground conductor connected to the antenna element part are formed; and

a printed wiring board in which a second ground conductor electrically connected to the first ground conductor is formed in a different layer from the first ground conductor,

wherein the second ground conductor has a shield part that partially overlaps with the antenna element part including a connection part between the antenna element part and the signal line and a connection part between the antenna element part and the first ground conductor and does not overlap with the open end of the antenna element part when viewed from a normal direction of the printed wiring board.

9. An electronic device comprising:

an antenna;

a communication unit that transmits or receives a signal via the antenna; and

a signal processing unit that processes the signal,

wherein the antenna has

a substrate on or in which an antenna element part having an open end, a signal line connected to the antenna element part, and a first ground conductor connected to the antenna element part are formed; and

a printed wiring board in which a second ground conductor electrically connected to the first ground conductor is formed in a different layer from the first ground conductor,

wherein the second ground conductor has a shield part that partially overlaps with the antenna element part including a connection part between the antenna element part and the signal line and a connection part between the antenna element part and the first ground conductor and does not overlap with the open end of the antenna element part when viewed from a normal direction of the printed wiring board.
