1. An antenna device comprising:

  • a dielectric plate provided with two electrodes that are formed on its first principal surface in such a manner that said two electrodes are spaced a fixed distance apart so that a first slot is formed between said two electrodes, and also provided with another two electrodes that are formed on the second principal surface of said dielectric plate in such a manner that said another two electrodes are spaced a fixed distance apart so that a second slot is formed between said another two electrodes, the location of said second slot corresponding to the location of said first slot on the opposite side of said dielectric plate, the region of said dielectric plate between the first slot and the second slot serving as the propagating region of a planar dielectric transmission line through which a plane wave is transmitted; and

    a dielectric resonator that is disposed on the end of or in the middle of said planar dielectric transmission line so that said planar dielectric transmission line is coupled with said dielectric resonator and so that said dielectric resonator serves as a primary radiator.
