A multiple band antenna comprising: a dielectric substrate; and a plurality of antenna elements being formed of each a conductor on a same face of the dielectric substrate and provided in a one-to-one correspondence with frequency bands to operate the frequency bands, wherein each of the antenna elements has an open end as one end and is connected at an opposite end to a feeder line and comprises a narrow part being placed on a side of the open end and formed by line with a narrow wide and a wide part being placed on a side of the feeder line and having a wider width than the narrow wide of the narrow part, the narrow part is turned in order in substantially the same direction as a width direction of the wide part, to form a meander shape, and the antenna elements have the wide parts joined in one piece forming a predetermined angle with each other so as to share a part of the wide parts.

Antenna and radio frequency module comprising the same

A dielectric antenna is provided for a high frequency wireless communication apparatus. The antenna includes a dielectric substrate and a conductive meander line layer formed on the dielectric substrate. A conductive feed line layer, having a greater line width than the width of the meander line layer, is also formed on the dielectric substrate. A conductive taper layer connects the conductive meander line layer to the conductive feed line layer. An edge of the conductive taper layer slants at an angle from an adjacent edge of the conductive feed line layer in a direction toward the conductive meander line layer.
