Abstract

There is provided an antenna device that includes a substrate, a slot provided in the substrate so that the slot includes a cut opening that is close to an edge of the substrate and the slot includes a crooked portion, a conductor section configured to include a slit in an area of the substrate, the area being sandwiched by the slot in the crooked portion, and an antenna that is placed close to the conductor section and is side by side with a surface of the substrate.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An antenna device comprising:
a substrate;
a slot provided in the substrate so that the slot includes a cut opening that is close to an edge of the substrate and the slot includes a crooked portion;
a conductor section configured to include a slit in an area of the substrate, the area being sandwiched by the slot in the crooked portion; and
an antenna that is placed close to the conductor section and is side by side with a surface of the substrate so that the antenna and the conductor section are provided so as to oppose to each other, an end of the antenna being coupled to a tip of the conductor section via a feeding point.

2. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor section is formed by making a slit in a smaller area of two areas of the substrate, the areas being sandwiched by the slot.

3. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the slot includes a meander shape.

4. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor section includes a meander shape.

5. The antenna device according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna forms a folded inverted-L antenna.

6. The antenna device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a dielectric material including a plate shape, wherein the substrate is placed on one surface of the dielectric material, and the antenna extends from a point at which the antenna is connected to the substrate and further extends to come into contact with the other surface of the dielectric material.

7. The antenna device according to claim 6 , wherein the antenna device is covered with the dielectric material.

8. The antenna device according to claim 6 , wherein the antenna is an inverted-L antenna and is a folded inverted-L antenna that extends from two points connected to the substrate and further extends to come into contact with the other surface of the dielectric material and to be connected together.

9. The antenna device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a dielectric material including a plate shape, wherein the substrate is placed on one surface of the dielectric material, and the antenna extends to come into contact with the other surface of the dielectric material and the antenna is connected with the conductor section through a via which is formed in the dielectric material.

10. The antenna device according to claim 9 , wherein the antenna device is covered with the dielectric material.

11. The antenna device according to claim 9 , wherein the antenna is an inverted-L antenna and is a folded inverted-L antenna that extends from two points connected to the substrate and further extends to come into contact with the other surface of the dielectric material and to be connected together.

12. A mobile phone comprising:
an antenna unit configured to include,
a substrate,
a slot provided in the substrate so that the slot includes a cut opening that is close to an edge of the substrate and includes a crooked portion,
a conductor section configured to include a slit in an area of the substrate, the area being sandwiched by the slot, and
an antenna that is placed close to a tip of the conductor section and is side by side with a surface of the substrate so that the antenna and the conductor section are provided so as to oppose to each other, an end of the antenna being coupled to a tip of the conductor section via a feeding point;
a wireless communication unit configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal through the antenna unit; and
a signal processing unit configured to process a signal received by the wireless communication unit and a signal to be transmitted from the wireless communication unit.

13. An antenna device comprising:
a substrate;
a slot which is provided in the substrate so that the slot includes a cut opening that is close to an edge near of the substrate and includes a length greater than or equal to one-tenth of a wavelength of a resonant frequency, the substrate being divided into a first area and a second area by the slot, the first area being smaller than the second area;
a feeding point placed within a distance of one-tenth of the wavelength of the resonant frequency from a portion close to a tip of the first area of the substrate, the first area being sandwiched by the slot; and
an antenna which is connected to the first area of the substrate through the feeding point and is side by side with a surface of the substrate so that the antenna and the substrate are provided parallel to each other so as to oppose to each other, an end at a tip of the antenna being connected to the feeding point.

14. The antenna device according to claim 13 , wherein the antenna is provided over the first area of the substrate.
