Abstract
A surface mounting type antenna system 10 is formed by spirally winding a conductor 14 made of copper or copper alloy, with a power supply member 12 provided at one end of the conductor 14, the other end thereof being a free end 13, on the edge faces of a rectangular parallelepiped as a dielectric substrate 11 by printing, deposition, pasting or plating. The dielectric substrate 11 is prepared by stacking a plurality of layers of ceramics, resin or a combination of ceramics and resin. On the underside 111 of the dielectric substrate 11 lies a power supply terminal 15 to which the power supply member 12 of the conductor 14 is connected. The power supply terminal 15 is simultaneously used as a fixing terminal for securing the surface mounting type antenna system 10 to, for example, a mounting board. Moreover, the conductor 14 squarely intersecting the axis C of the conductor winding is rectangular in transverse cross section having a width of w and a length of l.
