Abstract

An antenna device includes a flat base body and a flat conductive body which is disposed on the base body and which has a polygonal shape such that a lower side opposed to a ground is shorter than an upper side. The conductive body includes a feeding point on the lower side and a slit which comprises an open end on the lower side in a vicinity of the feeding point. The slit includes a first slit portion which extends from the open end, a second slit portion which extends from an end of the first slit portion such that the second slit portion is turned to a perpendicular direction with respect to the first slit portion, and a third slit portion which extends from an end of the second slit portion such that the third slit portion is turned to a perpendicular direction with respect to the second slit portion.

Claims (27)

1. An antenna device, comprising:

a flat base body; and

a flat conductive body which is disposed on the base body and which has a polygonal shape;

wherein the conductive body comprises:

an upper side and a lower side which extend horizontally, the lower side being opposed to a ground and being shorter than the upper side;

a right side and a left side which extend vertically downward from right and left ends of the upper side;

a right side tapered portion which extends diagonally between a lower end of the right side and a right end of the lower side;

a left tapered portion which extends diagonally between a lower end of the left side and a left end of the lower side;

a feeding point on the lower side; and

a slit which comprises an open end on the lower side in a vicinity of the feeding point, and

wherein the slit comprises:

a first slit portion which extends from the open end;

a second slit portion which extends from an end of the first slit portion such that the second slit portion is turned to a perpendicular direction with respect to the first slit portion; and

a third slit portion which extends from an end of the second slit portion such that the third slit portion is turned to a perpendicular direction with respect to the second slit portion.

2. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance between the feeding point and the open end of the slit is 2.0 mm.

3. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the length of an outer periphery of the conductive body and an inner periphery of the slit is set to ¼ of a wavelength of a lowest operable frequency.

4. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the first slit portion is bent 90 degrees each in two different directions.

5. The antenna device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an antenna cover having a shape of a shark fin;

an antenna base connected to the antenna cover; and

a base board which is disposed on the antenna base and which comprises a grounded portion,

wherein the base body and the conductive body are mounted on the base board.

6. The antenna device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a case of a communication unit; and

a base board which is disposed in the case and comprises a grounded portion,

wherein the base body and the conductive body are mounted on the base board.

7. The antenna device according to claim 6 , wherein the base body and the conductive body are folded according to an inner shape of the case.
