Antenna device using EBG structure, wireless communication device, and radar device

摘要

An antenna device comprises a first dielectric substrate; first and second antenna elements arranged on a first surface of the first dielectric substrate; a ground conductor arranged on a second surface of the first dielectric substrate; and an EBG structure arranged between the first and second antenna elements. The EBG structure comprises first patch conductors that are each arranged in contact with the first surface of the first dielectric substrate and are each electromagnetically coupled with the ground conductor; second patch conductors that are each arranged in a prescribed distance from the first surface of the first dielectric substrate in a direction opposite to the second surface, and are each electromagnetically coupled with corresponding one of the first patch conductors; and first connection conductors that electrically connect the first patch conductors with the second patch conductors.
