ANTENNA DEVICE
First Claim
1. An antenna device comprising:
- a finite ground plane;
a feeding point provided on the finite ground plane;
a plurality of feed antenna elements arranged in a radial fashion around the feeding point at a height from the finite ground plane;
a selector switch to connect a first end of a feed antenna element selected from the plurality of feed antenna elements to the feeding point; and
a plurality of parasitic elements arranged correspondingly to the feed antenna elements, in which first ends of the parasitic elements are connected to the finite ground plane, and portions including second ends of the parasitic elements are capacitively coupled with the feed antenna elements corresponding to the parasitic elements,wherein a first length of each parasitic element is approximately a quarter of a wavelength of a radio frequency to be used, anda length from the second end of each feed antenna element to the feeding point is shorter than the first length of each parasitic element.

Abstract
There is provided an antenna device including: a finite ground plane; a feeding point; feed antenna elements arranged in a radial fashion around the feeding point at a height from the finite ground plane; a selector switch to connect a first end of a feed antenna element selected from the feed antenna elements to the feeding point; and parasitic elements arranged correspondingly to the feed antenna elements, in which a first end thereof is connected to the finite ground plane and a portion including a second end thereof is capacitively coupled with the feed antenna element corresponding thereto, wherein a first length of the parasitic element is approximately a quarter of a wavelength of a radio frequency to be used, and a length from the second end of the feed antenna element to the feeding point is shorter than the first length of the parasitic element.
