Abstract
An antenna device included in a radio apparatus having a printed board includes a ground conductor provided in the printed board, a first sub-element, a second sub-element and a short circuit element. The first sub-element is formed as an area having a first side and a second side crossing each other. The first side faces a side of the ground conductor. The first sub-element has a feed portion around a crossing of the first side and the second side. The second sub-element is formed to branch off from the first sub-element around an end of the second side being farther from the crossing, to be open-ended and to be directed at least partially in a direction opposite a direction from the crossing to an end of the first side opposite the crossing. The short circuit element short-circuits one of the first sub-element and the second sub-element with the ground conductor.
