Abstract:
1. An antenna apparatus comprising: an antenna element which includes a receiving unit to receive an electric wave; a circuit substrate including a circuit surface on which a circuit is formed, the circuit amplifying an input from the antenna element; a shield cover covering the circuit surface to shield the circuit substrate from a disturbing wave, the shield cover being grounded; a coaxial cable to supply driving power and GND potential to the circuit on the circuit substrate, and to output a signal from the circuit, the coaxial cable being inserted into the shield cover, wherein the shield cover includes a base surface disposed in parallel with the circuit surface, and a tongue flap extending from the base surface to the coaxial cable, and the tongue flap includes a connecting piece which is formed by bending an end of the tongue flap at a side of the coaxial cable, the connecting piece being soldered to an outer conductor of the coaxial cable.
