Patent ID: 8548396

Claim:
An antenna element, comprising: a feeding path unit connected to a feeding point; a first antenna main body unit having a first end connected to the feeding path unit and a second end, the second end being an open end; a second antenna main body unit having a first end connected to a connection point between the feeding path unit and the first antenna main body unit and a second end, the second end being an open end; a first short-circuit path unit to contribute to a resonance of a radio signal in a predetermined first frequency band, the first short-circuit path unit being between the connection point and a ground point; and a second short-circuit path unit to contribute to a resonance of a radio signal in a second frequency band higher than the first frequency band, the second short-circuit path unit being between the connection point and the ground point and having a path length different from a path length of the first short-circuit path unit, wherein the feeding path unit and the first and second short-circuit path units are in parallel between the connection point and the ground point.
