Abstract
An antenna device is supported by a supporting member. The antenna device includes a dielectric substrate and a patch antenna. The patch antenna comprises a radiating element and a ground conductor that are provided to the dielectric substrate. The linear conductor fixes a relative position between the antenna device and the supporting member in a direction orthogonal to a normal direction of the dielectric substrate. At least a part of the linear conductor is electromagnetically coupled with the patch antenna to act as a linear antenna.
