Abstract
In an antenna, the outer conductor is formed of a first linear conductor, the first linear conductor having a length corresponding to one wavelength of a right-handed circularly polarized wave and circularly extended from a first feed point to a second feed point. The inner conductor is disposed inside the outer conductor and formed of a second linear conductor, the second linear conductor being different from the first linear conductor and having a length determined based on one wavelength of a left-handed circularly polarized wave. The inner conductor has a starting point of the second linear conductor connected to the first feed point and has an end point of the second linear conductor kept free from connection at a location inside the outer conductor, and causes current to flow in a direction opposite to the current flow in the outer conductor.
