An antenna includes a radiation electrode, with one end thereof being connected to a conductive portion located on a front or back surface of a board. The radiation electrode extends outward from the conductive portion starting from the connected end, is bent around an edge of the board, and extends to a side opposite to the side of the starting point with a space therebetween. The other end of the radiation electrode is not connected to the conductive portion so as to function as an open end. Since the radiation electrode extends from one side to the other side of the board, the electric length of the radiation electrode can be increased. Accordingly, the size and thickness of the radiation electrode can be reduced while keeping a set resonance frequency. Also, since a space defined by the board and the radiation electrode can be increased, the gain is greatly improved and the bandwidth is significantly broadened.
