In order to provide a small size antenna where excellent antenna
properties can be stably gained, a frequency adjustment is easy and a
simple measurement is possible, according to the present invention, a
small size antenna formed of a conductor of at least two adjoining
surfaces of a base in rectangular parallelepiped form made of dielectric
ceramics is characterized in that: a step is made of a flat portion
parallel to one surface of the two adjoining surfaces and an inclining
portion located between the one surface and the flat portion, in a corner
portion of the two surfaces on which the conductor is formed; the width
of the flat portion is 0.08 mm or less; and a border portion between the
flat portion and the other surface of the two adjoining surfaces is a
curve having a curvature radius R of 0.03 mm to 0.2 mm.
