Abstract
An antenna module includes a radiating element and a dielectric substrate. The dielectric substrate includes a flat portion on which an external terminal (T) to which a RFIC is connected is disposed, a flat portion in which the radiating element is disposed, a bent portion, a feeder, and a ground electrode (GND1). The feeder extends through the flat portions and the bent portion to connect the external terminal (T) and the radiating element to each other. The ground electrode (GND1) extends through the flat portions and the bent portion along the feeder. At the bent portion, a thickness of the feeder is greater than a thickness of the ground electrode (GND1).
Claims20
An antenna module, comprising:
- a first radiating element;
- and
- a dielectric substrate,
- wherein the dielectric substrate includes
- a first flat portion on which an external terminal is disposed,
- a second flat portion in which the first radiating element is disposed,
- a bent portion that connects the first flat portion and the second flat portion to each other,
- a first feeder that extends through the first flat portion, the bent portion, and the second flat portion so as to connect the external terminal and the first radiating element to each other, and
- a first ground electrode that extends through the first flat portion, the bent portion, and the second flat portion along the first feeder, and
- wherein at the bent portion, the first feeder has a thickness greater than a thickness of the first ground electrode.
