Abstract
An antenna apparatus includes a first dielectric layer, a ground plane, a conductive line, a second dielectric layer, and a first conductive element and a second conductive element configured to be disposed on the second dielectric layer so that the first and the second conductive elements intersect the conductive line at first and second positions corresponding to first and second nodes of a standing wave of current flowing through the conductive line, respectively, wherein the first and the second conductive elements are bent or rounded toward a feeding point with respect to the first and the second positions in plan view, respectively, and wherein a first bent degree, a first rounded degree or a first length of the first conductive element is different from a second bent degree, a second rounded degree or a second length of the second conductive element.
