Abstract

An antenna device includes a loop-shaped element radiating a radio wave of at least wavelength λ and having an electrical length of m×λ; a first power feeder exciting the loop-shaped element via voltage or current coupling by using a first electrical signal for radiating the radio wave; and a second power feeder exciting the loop-shaped element via a coupling method that is the same type as the first power feeder by using a second electrical signal for radiating a radio wave of wavelength λ/(2×p−1) at a portion that becomes a node of a standing wave that is formed with the first power feeder as an anti-node and that is based on the first electrical signal, here, “m” and “p” are natural numbers.
