A planar antenna able to secure a wide frequency band and having high
reliability. Therefore, the planar antenna has at least a grounding
plate, a radiating conductor, a matching portion, a power supply portion,
a spacer, a central conductor and a coaxial connector. The matching
portion is a flat plate having a taper shape (an inverse taper shape)
narrowed in width from the power supply portion to the radiating
conductor. Further, the matching portion is slantingly arranged with
respect to the grounding plate.
