Abstract
A surface mount antenna includes a substrate and a radiation electrode (having a predetermined resonance frequency) disposed on the substrate. An electrode is formed to cover four continuously connected surfaces including the front surface, the front end surface, the rear surface and the rear end surface of each substrate. Then, a dicer is used to cut a slit on the radiation electrode formed on the surface of the dielectric substrate. Here, the slit is arranged in a direction intersecting a direction &agr; connecting the two end surfaces. Subsequently, the dielectric substrate is cut into a plurality of portions along the direction &agr;, thus producing a plurality of surface mount antennas each including a substantially rectangular substrate and a radiation electrode formed essentially surrounding an outer circumference of the substrate.
