Abstract:
1. A dielectric antenna for a high frequency wireless communication apparatus, said antenna comprising: a dielectric substrate; a conductive meander line layer formed on the dielectric substrate; a conductive feed line layer formed on the dielectric substrate, said conductive feed line layer being of a greater line width than the meander line layer; and a conductive taper layer connecting the conductive meander line layer to the conductive feed line layer, said conductive taper layer having an edge slanting at an angle γ from an adjoining edge of the conductive feed line layer as measured in a direction toward the conductive meander line layer, said conductive taper layer connecting the meander line layer to the conductive feed line layer having a line width which continuously decreases from the line width of the conductive feed line layer toward the conductive meander line layer.
