Abstract

Abstract In a printed antenna, a window (14) is formed in a grounded conductor (18) provided on one side of an insulator substrate (16), and a strip conductor is formed in the window (14) as a strip antenna element (10). The grounded conductor (18) has convex portions (11) projecting toward a central portion of the strip conductor in a longitudinal direction of the strip conductor. Furthermore, in a printed antenna, a window (14) is formed in a grounded conductor (18) provided on one side of an insulator substrate (16) and two strip conductor (10) are formed in the window and a short conductor (11) is provided to connect a longitudinally central portion of each of the strip conductor with the grounded conductor. Furthermore, in a printed antenna, a window (14) is formed in a grounded conductor provided on one side of an insulator substrate, a strip conductor is formed in the window and a short antenna element (22) is formed in the grounded conductor (18). A short conductor connects a longitudinally central portion of the strip conductor with the grounded conductor. Furthermore, a reflector plate (20) may be provided or a plurality of the above-mentioned printed antenna are arranged on an insulator conductor.
