Abstract:
1. A connection structure which electrically connects a connection terminal of an antenna element mounted on a mounting plate to a connection terminal of a coaxial cable connector mounted on the mounting plate, comprising: a planar electric connection member which is made of a planar conductive material, and which includes a planar element connection end part electrically connected to the connection terminal of the antenna element and a planar cable connector connection end part extending away from the planar element connection end part and having a taper-shaped distal end portion with an elongated tip; and a bar-shaped electric connection member which is made of a bar-shaped conductive material, which extends along the planar cable connector connection end part of the planar electric connection member, and which is electrically connected to the planar cable connector connection end part, wherein the bar-shaped electric connection member has one end portion adjacent to the elongated tip of the taper-shaped distal end portion and the other end portion distant from the one end portion and adjacent to the taper-shaped distal end portion of the planar cable connector connection end part of the planar electric connection member, and the connection terminal of the coaxial cable connector has a connection hole into which the elongated tip of the taper-shaped distal end portion of the planar cable connector connection end part of the planar electric connection member and the one end portion of the bar-shaped electric connection member are inserted, and wherein both the planar cable connector connection end part of the planar electric connection member and the bar-shaped electric connection member are electrically connected to the connection terminal of the coaxial cable connector.
