Patent attributes
The present invention provides an antenna apparatus for a wireless unit, the antenna apparatus exhibiting a reduced specific absorption rate (SAR) without an additional component for reducing the SAR, which is the amount of energy of an electromagnetic wave absorbed by a human body. The antenna apparatus comprises a board 114 serving as a ground plate of an antenna, a first antenna element 102 transmitting and receiving an electromagnetic wave in a first frequency band and provided on the board 114 through the first feeder 107, and a second antenna element 110 transmitting and receiving an electromagnetic wave in a second frequency band and provided on the board 114 through the first feeder 111, wherein the total of an electrical length between the first and second feeders 107 and 111, an electrical length of the first antenna element 102, and an electrical length of the second antenna element 110 is larger than a half wavelength of the first frequency band and equal to or smaller than one wavelength of the first frequency band.
