Patent ID: 8482470

Claim:
An electronic apparatus comprising: a circular polarization wave antenna device including a circular plate-shaped dielectric having a through hole formed therein at a center thereof or in the vicinity of the center thereof, a circular plate-shaped radiation conductor disposed on a front side surface of the dielectric, a circular plate-shaped grounding conductor disposed on a back side surface of the dielectric and an electric feed member electrically connected to the radiation conductor and electrically isolated from the grounding conductor; a solar panel disposed on a front side of the circular polarization wave antenna device; a circuit board disposed on a back side of the circular polarization wave antenna device and electrically connected to the electric feed member; electrode pads provided on a back side of the solar panel and being exposed within the through hole in the dielectric; conductive patterns provided at positions on the circuit board, the positions facing the electrode pads; electric connection members disposed within the through hole in the dielectric and electrically connecting the electrode pads to the conductive patterns; a hollow cylindrical metal case having front and back openings and containing the solar panel, the circular polarization wave antenna device and the circuit board; a transparent member covering the front opening end of the metal case; and a metal cover closing the back opening end of the metal case.
