Abstract
An antenna device suitable for short distance wireless communication is provided which can have a good symmetry of directional characteristics and increase a gain at both end sides in a longitudinal direction of a ground pattern. An antenna device is formed by patterning a metal conductor on a printed substrate. The antenna device is provided with a ground pattern of a rectangular shape, a power feed element arranged adjacent to one short side portion of the ground pattern, a correction pattern that projects from the short side portion and is located lateral to the power feed element, and a parasitic radiation element extending along the short side portion at a separation position facing the short side portion of the ground pattern through the power feed element and the correction pattern. An electrical length of the parasitic radiation element is set to be approximately ½ of a resonant length. When power is feed, the power feed element is excited to radiate electric waves.
