Patent attributes
An antenna apparatus and a portable wireless device using the same are disclosed, in which a coupling between antenna elements is reduced and an isolation property is improved even when frequencies of antenna elements are close or overlapped. The antenna apparatus includes a ground board, a first antenna element corresponding to a first frequency band, a second antenna element corresponding to a second frequency band in the vicinity of, or overlapped with the first frequency band, a first power feeding part connecting the ground board to the first antenna element and a second power feeding part connecting the ground board to the second antenna element, in which the first antenna element is arranged in a direction at an angle of an integer multiple of 90 degrees with respect to a long edge of the ground board, and the second antenna element is arranged in parallel with the long edge of the ground board.
