Patent ID: 7605764

Claim:
A folded dipole antenna device which is of an unbalanced feed type, comprising: an antenna element of approximately plate-like loop structure, connected to an antenna feed point and an antenna ground provided on a base plate, wherein the antenna element of loop structure includes a pair of first element sections which extend approximately parallel to the base plate, a second element section formed by merging element sections that are folded back from both ends of the first element sections and extend approximately parallel to the first element sections, and a third element section which extends from a folded top part of the second element section toward the first element sections and an end part thereof is close to the first element sections, and wherein a pair of the first element sections extend in mutually opposite directions above the base plate, starting from the antenna feed point and the antenna ground and maintaining an approximately uniform distance from the first element sections to the base plate; are bent at an approximately right angle in a same direction at a predetermined length; and extend a predetermined length, maintaining an approximately uniform distance from the first element sections to the base plate, the second element section is connected to the ends of the first element sections and extends in the form of U so as to cover the first element sections, maintaining an approximately uniform distance from the second element section to the first element sections, and the third element section extends from an outer edge of at least a middle part of the second element section toward the first element sections.
