1. An antenna apparatus comprising:
- a ground member having a length along a predetermined directional axis, the length being about a quarter or more of a wavelength of an electromagnetic wave used for communication; and
an antenna element extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the directional axis and connected to the ground member;
wherein the antenna element is disposed substantially in the same plane as an end portion of the ground member with a predetermined distance provided therebetween.

Abstract
An antenna apparatus is provided that includes a printed wiring board, electronic components disposed on the printed wiring board, a shielding member (ground member) that is disposed on the printed wiring board. The shielding member has a length along a predetermined directional axis X set substantially to ¼λ or more, the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave used for communication being λ. An antenna element extends in a direction crossing the directional axis X and is grounded to the shielding member (ground member).
