Abstract

The invention provides a chip antenna installed inside a mobile telecommunication terminal, which can process a low band signal. In the chip antenna, a substrate is prepared. A first radiator is formed in a spiral shape inside or on the substrate, and includes at least one spiral radiating part. The first radiator controls inductance of the antenna. Also, a second radiator is connected to the first radiator, and includes an upper meander radiating part disposed in a length direction of the substrate and a lower meander radiating part overlapping and opposing the upper meander in a lower part of the upper meander part. The second radiator controls capacitance of the antenna. In addition, a feeding part is connected to the first radiator, and receives a high frequency current of a given band.
