Abstract
Abstract An antenna apparatus in which flexible antennas made of a conductive material are formed on a flexible insulating sheet. An insulating film (11) made of a synthetic resin material is used as the insulating sheet, and the antennas are formed by adhering a metal foil (12, 13) on the insulating sheet or by depositing a metal film on the insulating sheet.
