摘要

An inverted F-type antenna apparatus is provided with a grounding conductor and an antenna element arranged on the grounding conductor so as to face the grounding conductor. The inverted F-type antenna apparatus further includes at least one coupling element provided between the grounding conductor and the antenna element so as to face the grounding conductor and the antenna element, and a connection conductor is provided for electrically connecting the antenna element with the grounding conductor at least in one place. In the inverted F-type antenna apparatus, the grounding conductor, the antenna element and the coupling element are arranged so as to be substantially parallel to each other.
