Abstract
An antenna system includes a substrate, a ground on the substrate, a first radiator having a helical shape near a side of the substrate and having a central axis substantially in parallel to a side of the ground, and a high frequency circuit electrically connected to a part of the first radiator. In the antenna system, ground-induced degradation of antenna gain can be reduced, and matching can be performed at an operating frequency through adjustment of a winding of the first radiator. Consequently, the radiation gain of the antenna system can be improved without an antenna matching circuit.
