Abstract
There is provided an antenna device which can suitably tilt directivity of an antenna. The antenna device includes a dielectric substrate, a conductive plate arranged on one surface of the dielectric substrate, a first slot element to which electric power is supplied from a power supply line, which has an electrical length having an approximately ½ wavelength of use frequency of the antenna device, and which is formed in the conductive plate, a second slot element which has an electrical length longer than that of the first slot element, and which is formed in the conductive plate to be substantially parallel to the first slot element by leaving a gap of an approximately ¼ wavelength of the electrical length from the first slot element, and a ground conductor arranged to be substantially parallel to the conductive plate by leaving a predetermined gap from the conductive plate.
