Patent ID: 8130157

Claim:
A feeding apparatus that uses a coaxial cable for feeding, a center conductor of the coaxial cable being connected to a first radiating element in terms of alternating current at least through capacitive coupling, an outer conductor of the coaxial cable being connected to a second radiating element in terms of alternating current at least through capacitive coupling, the apparatus comprising: a first feeding part that is made of a conductor between the first radiating element and the center conductor; and a second feeding part that is made of a conductor between the second radiating element and the outer conductor, and wherein the first feeding part includes a feeding conductor in contact with the center conductor, and an insulator sandwiched between the feeding conductor and the first radiating element, the second feeding part includes a feeding conductor in contact with the outer conductor, and an insulator sandwiched between the feeding conductor and the second radiating element, the first feeding part is sewn on the first radiating element with an insulating thread only at a periphery of the first feeding part, and the second feeding part is sewn on the second radiating element with an insulating thread only at a periphery of the second feeding part.
