  • the pattern of the feeder element 2 is formed by bending a linear element plural times in accordance with the shape of the base material 1. By this, the length of the feeder element 2 in the longitudinal direction can be short, and the whole antenna 100 can be small.
  • the feeder element 2 is arranged on the elongated base material 1 in accordance with the outer circumferential shape of the base material 1 like this embodiment, since the feeding point 2s and the tip parts 2t of the feeder element 2 are positioned close to each other, there is such a problem that the electromagnetic coupling occurs between the feeding point 2s and the tip parts 2t, thereby deteriorating the characteristic of the antenna. Therefore, in the present invention, in order to suppress the electromagnetic coupling between the feeding point 2s and the tip parts 2t of the feeder element 2, the center part of the elongated-shaped base material 1 is hollowed to provide the hollowed part 1c. Since air intervenes between the feeding point 2s and the tip parts 2t of the feeder element 2, their electromagnetic coupling can be weakened. As a result, the deterioration of the characteristics at the intermediate area of two resonances can be suppressed, and the antenna having a stable characteristic can be realized.

Since the antenna 100 of the first embodiment has smaller variation of impedance characteristic, the variation of the VSWR in a desired frequency band becomes smaller. Particularly, it is understood that the deterioration of the characteristic between two resonance points is suppressed. By this, the received electric power does not have a large difference even if the signal receiving frequency band varies, and there is such an advantage that the signal receiving level becomes flat.
  • the antenna 100 shown in FIG. 1A has the C-shaped plane shape, it can be formed to have a slot-like plane shape by providing the base material 1 with only the hollowed part 1c like the antenna 100a shown in FIG. 4A .
