Abstract
A circularly polarized wave antenna device that has improved the orthogonality of two radiation electric fields in a degeneration-separated mode. A radiation conductor is formed on one main surface of a substrate, and a ground conductor is formed on the other main surface of the substrate opposite to the radiation conductor. A feeding conductor is formed on the side surface of the substrate so as to extend from the other main surface toward the one main surface. The radiation conductor is formed into a square shape or an electrically square shape in a plan view. On the substrate, capacitive loading conductors are provided in the extended directions of the two diagonal lines of the radiation conductor, the capacitive loading conductors being formed between the ground conductor and the radiation conductor, and having mutually different shapes between the one diagonal direction and the other diagonal direction.
