Abstract
Provided are an antenna and a combination antenna having a wide directivity in a predetermined plane direction. The antennais configured to have rimsat left and right ends of a dielectric substratein the X direction in such a manner as to sandwich antenna elements. The rimsmay be metal plates or EBGs. As the rimsare thus provided at both sides to sandwich the antenna elements, it is possible to reduce the width of the dielectric substrateof the antennarequired for realizing wide coverage. As a result, it is possible to create a greater space for integration of another RF circuit and improve the space factor.
