A navigation system incorporating an antenna includes a cabinet
constructed of electroplated case and cover. An antenna element is
integrated to the cabinet and electrically connected with the cover that
is a ground of the antenna element. With this configuration, the cabinet
and the antenna element can be installed in a vehicle at once and wiring
of the antenna element outside the cabinet can be eliminated. Thus,
installability of the navigation system is improved in comparison with
known devices. Furthermore, the cover is formed such that its surface is
larger than that of the antenna element. As a result, directivity of the
antenna element is properly secured.
