Abstract:
1. A multiply resonant antenna device comprising: a first antenna element formed from a monopole element which is bent into L-shape to have a first portion extending from a first end connected to a feed point to a first bending portion in a first direction, and a second portion extending, in a second direction, from the first bending portion to a second end open, and which has an element length set to substantially a ¼ of wavelength corresponding to a first resonant frequency; a second antenna element which is formed from a parasitic element bent into a L-shape to have a third portion extending from a third end connected to a ground point to a second bending portion in the first direction, and a fourth portion extending, in the second direction, from the second bending portion to a fourth end open, wherein the second antenna element is so placed in such a manner that the parasitic element is configured to be current-coupled to the first antenna element, and the parasitic element has an element length set to substantially a ¼ of wavelength corresponding to a second resonant frequency; and a third antenna element which is formed from a folded monopole element bent into a hairpin shape to have fifth and sixth portions folded back at a folded portion, the fifth portion extending from a fifth end connected to the feed point to the folded portion in the second direction, the sixth portion extending from the folded portion in the second direction and being bent to a sixth end connected to the ground point, wherein the fourth open end and the folded portion is so positioned as to be closely aligned in respect to the second direction, and the second end is more extended from the fourth open end and the folded portion in respect to the second direction, the folded monopole element is so placed in such a manner that the parasitic element is configured to be current-coupled to the folded monopole element, the folded monopole element has an electrical length from the feed point to the ground point through a folding end, which is set to substantially a ½ of wavelength corresponding to a third resonant frequency, and is set to be higher than the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency.
