The antenna of the present invention comprises flat-plate conductive ground plane 1, first antenna element 13 with one end 13a connected to feeding point 2 and intermediate portion 13b folded by a plurality of times, which is extended upward from the ground plane 1, and second antenna element 23 with one end 23a connected to the other end 13c of the first antenna element 13, with intermediate portion 23b formed in symmetrical relation to the first antenna element 13, and also, with the other end 23c connected to the ground plane 1. Thus, it is possible to obtain a small size antenna with the antenna element lowered in height.
