Abstract:
An antenna apparatus comprising a chip antenna and a mounting substrate on which said chip antenna is mounted, said chip antenna including a base member made from ceramic, a conductor formed on said base member, and a power-supply electrode to which one end of said conductor is connected and a terminal electrode to which the other end of said conductor is connected, both formed on a surface of said base member, and said mounting substrate including a radiative conductor and a ground electrode, wherein the terminal electrode of said chip antenna is connected to one end of the radiative conductor of said mounting substrate, said radiative conductor being disposed so as to be asymmetrically connected with respect to the conductor of the chip antenna near one end of the radiative conductor to the conductor of the chip antenna as viewed in a direction perpendicular to a plane in which the mounting substrate is disposed.
