Abstract
A substrate includes a dielectric plate and a conductive layer formed on both surfaces of the dielectric plate, and a first cutout is formed in the conductive layer on both surfaces of the substrate so as to extend inward from part of a first edge of the substrate. A first radiation electrode is connected to the conductive layer at a first point located on an outer peripheral line of the first cutout. A first reflector plate is disposed in a location further inward in the substrate from the first edge than the first point. The reflector plate is electrically connected to the conductive layer, and faces toward the first point. Thus an antenna device that is suited to miniaturization and that is capable of increasing directivity is provided.
