Abstract
An antenna module includes: a dielectric substrate including a multilayer structure, the dielectric substrate having a first surface and a second surface, the second surface being opposite the first surface; an antenna pattern formed on the first surface side of the dielectric substrate; a RFIC provided on the second surface of the dielectric substrate, the RFIC supplying a radio frequency signal to the antenna pattern; and a power supply line that supplies power to the RFIC, wherein the thickness of the power supply line in the stacking direction (Z axis direction) of the dielectric substrate is thicker than the thickness of the antenna pattern in the stacking direction.
