Abstract

An antenna is provided and includes a bottom plate for being connected with a mounting body and an antenna body on the bottom plate. The antenna body includes: a substrate fixedly connected to the bottom plate; a plane of the substrate intersects the bottom plate; a radiation element on the substrate; a feeding structure configured to transmit and/or receive radio frequency signals to/from the radiation element and including a signal electrode and a ground electrode on a surface of the substrate. The signal electrode is electrically connected to the radiation element. On a reference plane perpendicular to the bottom plate, an orthographic projection of the ground electrode is spaced apart from that of the radiation element, and is entirely located between the orthographic projection of the radiation element and the bottom plate. The antenna can prevent the ground electrode from reflecting the electromagnetic waves radiated by the radiation element.
