A circularly polarized antenna has a dielectric substrate, a ground
conductor piled up on one surface side of the dielectric substrate, a
circularly polarized antenna element formed on an opposite surface of the
dielectric substrate, a plurality of metal posts whose respective one end
sides are connected to the ground conductor and penetrate the dielectric
substrate along a thickness direction thereof, and whose respective other
sides extend up to the opposite surface of the dielectric substrate, the
plurality of metal posts configuring a cavity by being provided at
predetermined intervals so as to surround the antenna element, and a
conducting rim which short-circuits the respective other end sides of the
plurality of metal posts along an array direction thereof, and is
provided so as to extend by a predetermined distance in a direction of
the antenna element at the side of the opposite surface of the dielectric
substrate.
