Abstract

The antenna element (1) of a long conductor is formed with at least one returned portion (1a) arranged substantially in parallel to a longitudinal direction of the antenna element. In practice, a physical length of the antenna element in the longitudinal direction is determined to such a length as to be substantially resonated in a first frequency band, and the at least one returned portion (1a) is formed in such a way as to be resonated in a second frequency band twice higher than the first frequency band on the basis of an electric coupling with the adjacent antenna element. Further, the antenna can be constructed in such a way that: an antenna element (1) of a long conductor is formed with at least one returned portion arranged substantially in parallel to a longitudinal direction of the antenna element in such a way that an electrical length thereof is substantially 3/4 wavelength of a frequency band of transmitted and received signals; and at least half element (213) of an electrical length of substantially 1/4 wavelength of the frequency band beginning from an end portion of the antenna element on a side opposite to a feeder portion (30) side is formed as an extended antenna …
