Abstract

A broadband antenna is disclosed. The disclosed antenna may include: a substrate; an impedance matching/feeding unit, arranged on the substrate and comprising a first matching member and a second matching member configured to perform impedance matching through a coupling method; a radiating member electrically connected to the impedance matching/feeding unit; and a signal line electrically connected to the second matching member. Here, the signal line is implemented in the form of an electrical loop.
