ANTENNA AND WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE

摘要

This disclosure provides an antenna and a wireless communication device that includes the antenna in which a high-order mode can be controlled while maintaining good radiation characteristics in both the fundamental mode and high-order mode. The antenna has a radiation electrode provided on a surface of a dielectric substrate and a branch electrode portion that branches from the radiation electrode portion at a branch point near the feeding port toward a vicinity of a position of the radiation electrode at which a maximum voltage of a high-order mode is generated.
