A surface-mount type antenna includes a rectangular-parallelepiped base
body made of a dielectric or magnetic material, having a first surface to
be placed on a target substrate, second to fifth surfaces that are
continuous with the first surface, and a sixth surface located in
parallel with the first surface; a ground electrode formed on at least
one of the second to fifth surfaces; two radiating electrodes that are
continuous with the ground electrode and extend over two or more adjacent
surfaces of the second to sixth surfaces; and two feeding electrodes
formed on at least one of the second to fifth surfaces so as to be spaced
apart circumferentially of the continuum of the second to fifth surfaces
to provide the ground electrode in between. The feeding electrode is
capacitance-coupled to the radiating electrode for effecting feeding.
