Abstract
An antenna (1) according to the present disclosure includes a plate-shaped transparent dielectric member (10), a patch antenna (20), a ground plane (30), and a transparent conductive film (40). The patch antenna (20) is disposed on a front face (11) of the transparent dielectric member (10) and includes holes portions (22) inside the patch antenna (20). The ground plane (30) is disposed on a back face (12) of the transparent dielectric member (10) and includes hole portions (32) inside the ground plane (30). The transparent conductive film (40) is disposed at the hole portions (22) of the patch antenna (20).
