Abstract

The present invention provides a broad-band antenna for mobile communication in which a desired antenna characteristic is obtained in plural frequency bands of a portable phone or the like. A metal plate 16 having a suitable shape is disposed on an upper surface of a carrier 14 provided on a circuit board 10, and a first and a second antenna elements functioning as inverted-F antennas respectively resonant at a first frequency band and a second frequency band higher than the former are formed by electrically connecting the metal plate 16 to a grounding plate 12 and the circuit board 10 by an earthing terminal 18 and a feed terminal 20, respectively. A third antenna element 24 having a base end electrically connected to the feed terminal 20 and resonant at a third frequency band higher than the second frequency band is provided on a side surface of the carrier 14, ends of the second antenna element and the third antenna element 24 are disposed to be spaced from each other by a distance of 0.1 wavelength or more of the third frequency band, and the end of the third antenna element 24 is disposed to be spaced from the grounding plate 12 by a distance of 0.01 wavelength or more of the …
