ANTENNA AND INTEGRATED ANTENNA

摘要

Provided are an antenna and an integrated antenna having wide-range directionality in a predetermined surface direction. An antenna (100) is configured so that an element antenna (10) is provided between rims (111, 112) respectively provided on the right and left ends, in the X direction, of a dielectric substrate (101). A metal plate or EBG can be used for the rims (111, 112). Accordingly, because the rims (111, 112) are provided on the opposite ends of the element antenna (10), the width of the dielectric substrate (101) in the antenna (100) necessary for realizing a wide range can be made narrower. As a result, a large space can be obtained for other RF circuits to be integrated, and the space factor can be improved.
