An earphone antenna includes an earphone cable having first signal lines; a shielded cable including a coaxial cable, a second signal line for audio signals and a grounding wire, the coaxial cable having a central conductor passing high frequency signals surrounded by an insulator and further surrounded by a first shield wire, the coaxial cable, the second signal line, and the grounding wire collectively being surrounded by a second shield wire; a multipin connector arranged on one end of the shielded cable an adapted to electrically connect the shielded cable to a radio apparatus; and a connection block interconnecting the other end of the shielded cable and the earphone cable. The connection block includes a balun for carrying out impedance and balanced/unbalanced mode transformation, and an audio signal transmission path formed by connecting the second signal line and the grounding wire, respectively, to the pair of first signal lines via a high frequency choke exhibiting low impedance for audio signals and high impedance for high frequency signals. By connecting the central conductor of the coaxial cable and the first shield wire to an unbalanced part of the balun, connecting the pair of first signal lines to one end of a balanced part of the balun via a capacitor exhibiting high impedance for audio signals and low impedance for high frequency signals, and connecting the other end of the balanced part of the balun to the second shield wire, a dipole antenna is formed by the earphone cable and the second shield wire.
