Abstract

An antenna includes a dielectric multilayer substrate that includes a first conductor layer and a second conductor layer different from the first conductor layer, the first conductor layer including a first conductor, the first conductor including a first split ring part, the first split ring part surrounding a first opening part and being divided by a first split part, and a power feed line that is provided on the second conductor layer, the power feed line including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the first split ring part, the second end spanning the first opening part and extending to a region opposing the first conductor.

Claims (29)

2. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the dielectric multilayer substrate further includes a third conductor layer including a second conductor,

wherein the second conductor includes a second split ring part, the second split ring part surrounding a second opening part and being divided by a second split part, and

wherein the first conductor and the second conductor are connected to each other via a plurality of conductor vias.

3. An electronic device comprising at least one antenna according to claim 1 .

4. An antenna, comprising:

a dielectric multilayer substrate that includes a first conductor layer and a second conductor layer,

the first conductor layer including a first conductor, the first conductor including a first split ring part, the first split ring part surrounding a first opening part and being divided by a first split part, and

the second conductor layer including a second conductor, the second conductor including a second split ring part, the second split ring part surrounding a second opening part and being divided by a second split part, the second conductor being connected to the first conductor via a plurality of conductor vias; and

a power feed line that is provided on the second conductor layer, the power feed line including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to an edge of the second opening part, the second end spanning the second opening part and extending to a region opposing the first conductor, the power feed line overlapping with the second opening part when seen in a direction in which the first conductor layer and the second conductor layer overlap with each other,

wherein a clearance is provided between the power feed line and the second conductor, in the region to which the power feed line extends.

5. An electronic device comprising at least one antenna according to claim 4 .

6. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the power feed line extends from the first end to the second end approximately in a straight line.

7. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the first split part extends in a circumferential direction of the first opening part.

8. The antenna according to claim 1 , further comprising conductor vias provided in a circumferential direction of the first split part and the second split part, the conductor vias electrically connecting the first split ring part and the second split ring part.

9. The antenna according to claim 8 , wherein the first end is electrically connected to at least one of the conductor vias.
