Abstract
An antenna element has a dielectric base, at least a portion of which is arranged in a non-ground region of a substrate. A feeding radiation electrode has an intermediate path that is connected to a feeding portion and that is arranged to extend in a perimeter direction of the dielectric base on a side surface of the dielectric base adjacent to the non-ground region and spaced away from a ground region. The feeding radiation electrode has an open end side path that is arranged to extend along a loop path from the termination of the intermediate path and an open end of the extended distal end is arranged parallel or substantially parallel to and spaced apart from the intermediate path. A dielectric material having a high dielectric constant, which increases the capacitance between the intermediate path and the open end, is located in a region including the spaced region between the intermediate path and parallel or substantially parallel open end.
