Abstract
An antenna used in wireless communication, provided with an antenna element and a GND portion on a dielectric board and mounted in an electronic device, includes a open conductor having a high-frequency connection to the GND portion at an end of the dielectric board in the opposing corner direction from a power supply point of the antenna element. The length of the GND portion in the vertical direction relative to the propagation direction of a high-frequency signal is less than ¼ the wavelength of the operating frequency of the antenna element.
