Abstract
A dielectric block includes a bottom surface that includes a conductive ground member including an antenna ground surface inclined with respect to the bottom surface. A feed element is disposed at a distance from the antenna ground surface, and constitutes a patch antenna together with the antenna ground surface. A feed line is connected to a feed point of the feed element, and a dielectric member that supports the feed element with respect to the ground member. The ground member is exposed to the bottom surface, on both a lower side and a higher side of a contour line passing through an intersection point of a perpendicular line from the feed point to a virtual plane including the bottom surface and a plane including the antenna ground surface, using the bottom surface as a height reference.
