Claim 12:
13. An antenna apparatus, comprising:
a ground plane including first sides parallel to a first direction and second sides parallel to a second direction, on a plane formed in the first direction and the second direction;
a dielectric layer overlapping the ground plane in a third direction;
an antenna patch overlapping the ground plane in the third direction;
a plurality of first vias configured to pass through at least a portion of the dielectric layer and connected to the ground plane; and
a plurality of second vias disposed to be spaced apart from the plurality of first vias in the first direction,
wherein a first distance between the plurality of first vias and the plurality of second vias in a direction parallel to the first direction is not greater than a minimum distance between the plurality of second vias and the antenna patch in the direction parallel to the first direction,
wherein edges of the first vias and the second vias at least partially overlap the first sides of the ground plane in a top view of the plane formed in the first and second directions,
wherein the dielectric layer includes a first edge parallel to the first direction and a second edge parallel to the second direction, and
wherein a length of each of the first sides in the first direction is longer than a length of each of the second sides in the second direction.
