Abstract

The present invention provides a small antenna device realizing both miniaturization including lower profile and a broader band in a frequency band of hundreds MHz to 5 GHz and which can be mounted on a small device such as a cellular phone. An antenna device includes: a finite ground plane; a rectangular conductor plate provided above the finite ground plane, whose one side is connected to the finite ground plane, and having a bent portion substantially parallel with the one side; an antenna disposed substantially parallel with the finite ground plane above the finite ground plane, extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the one side, and having a feeding point positioned near the other side facing the one side of the rectangular conductor plate; and a magnetic material provided in at least a part of space between the finite ground plane and the antenna.
