To obtain a more favorable radiation pattern even in a case of arraying a plurality of antenna elements.An antenna device includes a dielectric substrate, a plurality of antenna elements that disposed along a first direction and respectively transmits or receives a first wireless signal and a second wireless signal having different polarization directions from one another, and a ground plate provided with a long slot to extend in a second direction in a region corresponding to a region between first and second antenna elements next to each other, and a length L in the second direction of the slop satisfies a conditional expression below where a wavelength of the wireless signal is λ0, a relative dielectric constant of the dielectric substrate is εr1, and a relative dielectric constant of a dielectric located on an opposite side of the dielectric substrate with respect to the ground plate is εr2.[Math.⁢1]L>λg2,λg=λ0(ɛr⁢⁢1+ɛr⁢⁢2)⁢/⁢2

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An antenna device comprising: a substantially planar dielectric substrate; a plurality of antenna elements disposed on one surface of the dielectric substrate along a first direction horizontal to a plane of the dielectric substrate, and configured to respectively transmit or receive a first wireless signal and a second wireless signal having different polarization directions from one another; and a ground plate provided on substantially entire the other surface of the dielectric substrate, and provided with a long slot to extend in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction in a region corresponding to a region between a first antenna element and a second antenna element next to each other, wherein a length L in the second direction of the slot satisfies a conditional expression below: [ Math . ⁢ 1 ] ⁢ ⁢ L > λ g 2 , λ g = λ 0 ( ɛ r ⁢ ⁢ 1 + ɛ r ⁢ ⁢ 2 ) ⁢ / ⁢ 2 where a wavelength of the wireless signal transmitted or received by each of the plurality of antenna elements is λ 0 , a relative dielectric constant of the dielectric substrate is ε r1 , and a relative dielectric constant of a dielectric located on an opposite side of the dielectric substrate with respect to the ground plate is ε r2 . 2. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance d between respective centers of the first antenna element and the second antenna element satisfies a conditional expression below. [ Math . ⁢ 2 ] ⁢ ⁢ λ 0 2 ≤ d < λ 0 . 3. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein a distance p along the first direction between a center of the first antenna element and the slot satisfies a conditional expression below. [ Math . ⁢ 3 ] ⁢ ⁢ λ 0 4 ⁢ ɛ r ⁢ ⁢ 1 < p < d - λ 0 4 ⁢ ɛ r ⁢ ⁢ 1
