Abstract

An antenna device includes: a conductive ground conductor plate; a plate-shaped radiating element disposed without being in contact with the ground conductor plate; a feeding line including a conductor and a shield member that surrounds the conductor, the shield member being connected to the ground conductor plate; and a conductive feeding element that includes a facing plate portion that faces the radiating element with an air layer provided therebetween, and is connected to the conductor.

Claims (34)

1. An antenna device comprising:

a conductive ground conductor plate;

a plate-shaped radiating element disposed without being in contact with the ground conductor plate;

a feeding line including a conductor and a shield member that surrounds the conductor, the shield member being connected to the ground conductor plate;

a conductive feeding element that includes a facing plate portion that faces the radiating element with a dielectric layer provided therebetween, and is connected to the conductor;

a positioning member with which the radiating element and the facing plate portion are positioned;

a first positioning surface formed in the positioning member, the radiating element being fixed to the first positioning surface while being in surface contact with the first positioning surface; and

a front surface recess portion formed in the positioning member and being a recess formed in a part of the first positioning surface, wherein

the facing plate portion is contained in the front surface recess portion.

2. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the feeding line is attached penetrating the ground conductor plate.

3. The antenna device according to claim 2 , wherein

the facing plate portion has a circular shape, and

the facing plate portion is coaxially attached to the conductor.

4. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein

the facing plate portion has a circular shape, and

the facing plate portion is coaxially attached to the conductor.

5. An antenna device comprising:

a conductive ground conductor plate;

a plate-shaped radiating element disposed without being in contact with the ground conductor plate;

a feeding line including a conductor and a shield member that surrounds the conductor, the shield member being connected to the ground conductor plate;

a conductive feeding element that includes a facing plate portion that faces the radiating element with a dielectric layer provided in between, and is connected to the conductor;

a positioning member with which the radiating element and the facing plate portion are positioned; and

a containing recess portion formed in the positioning member and containing the feeding element, wherein

the containing recess portion includes a front surface recess portion opened to an outer circumference surface of the positioning member and an outer side surface recess portion opened in the outer circumference surface of the positioning member,

the front surface recess portion and the outer side surface recess portion communicate with each other,

the facing plate portion is contained in the front surface recess portion, and

the conductor is contained in the outer side surface recess portion.

6. The antenna device according to claim 5 , wherein the positioning member and the feeding line are fixed to the ground conductor plate.

7. The antenna device according to claim 6 , wherein

the facing plate portion has a circular shape, and

the facing plate portion is coaxially attached to the conductor.

8. The antenna device according to claim 5 , wherein

the facing plate portion has a circular shape, and

the facing plate portion is coaxially attached to the conductor.
