Compact antenna device radiating circularly polarized wave
First Claim
1. An antenna device comprising a radiation slot that is formed in a conductor member and includes:
- a main slot part that is extended straight and has a power feeder part in the vicinity of one end; and
first and second branch slot parts that are extended straight on both sides of the main slot part that is interposed between the first and second branch slot parts, the first branch slot part being connected to another end of the main slot part opposing the one end and the second branch slot part being connected to the vicinity of the other end of the main slot part, wherein a plane of polarization of an electric wave radiated from the main slot part and the first branch slot part is orthogonal to a plane of polarization of an electric wave radiated from the main slot part and the second branch slot part, and a length and relative position of each slot part is set such that the two electric waves differ in phase by 90 degrees.

Abstract
In an antenna device, a radiation slot formed in a metal plate includes a main slot part on one diagonal line of the metal plate and first and second branch slot parts. The first and second branch split parts extend along two adjacent sides of the metal plate and are connected to one end of the main slot part. A power feeder line and a ground line are formed in the vicinity of another end of the main slot part. The length and relative position of each slot part is set such that the plane of polarization of an electric wave radiated from the main and first slot parts and the plane of polarization of an electric wave radiated from the main and second slot parts are orthogonal to each other and the two electric waves differ in phase by 90 degrees.
