Abstract

A wideband antenna includes a radiation element, first and second extension elements, first and second reflection elements, and a feeding element. The radiation element is symmetric to a reference direction and has a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge. A width of the radiation element gradually increases along the reference direction. The first and second extension elements are extended toward the reference direction respectively from two ends of the top edge and are mirror-symmetric to each other with respect to the reference direction. Widths of the first and second extension elements gradually decrease along the reference direction. The first and second reflection elements are respectively opposite to the first and second side edges and are mirror-symmetric to each other with respect to the reference direction. The feeding element is electrically connected to the bottom edge and has a feeding point.
