Abstract
An antenna includes a first feeding portion, a second feeding portion, and a loop element including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the first feeding portion, and the second end being connected to the second feeding portion, wherein the loop element has a first element portion and a second element portion, which appear to face each other in a vertical direction in an elevation view as seen in a direction parallel with a horizontal plane, and wherein a first gap is provided in a middle of the first element portion, and a second gap is provided in a middle of the second element portion.
Claims20
An antenna comprising:
- a feeding portion comprising a first feeding portion and a second feeding portion and defining a gap therebetween;
- and
- a loop element including a first end and a second end, the first end being connected to the first feeding portion, and the second end being connected to the second feeding portion,
- wherein the loop element has a first element portion and a second element portion, which appear to face each other in a vertical direction in an elevation view as seen in a direction parallel with a horizontal plane,
- wherein a first gap is provided in a middle of the first element portion, and a second gap is provided in a middle of the second element portion,
- wherein the loop element has a first antenna conductor connected to the feeding portion and a second antenna conductor not connected to the feeding portion,
- wherein the first gap and the second gap are present between the first antenna conductor and the second antenna conductor,
- wherein a resonance of the loop element is reconfigurable between a first resonance mode and a second resonance mode, and
- wherein the first resonance mode is a reverse phase mode in which current flowing through the first antenna conductor is in an opposite direction to current flowing through the second antenna conductor.
