The invention provides an
antenna element capable of realizing
broadband of available electromagnetic
waves. An
antenna element according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided with an inorganic material substrate, a first conductor layer, a support substrate, a cavity, and a ground conductor layer. The first conductor layer is disposed on one side of the inorganic material substrate in the thickness direction and includes a
patch antenna. The support substrate is disposed on the opposite side of the inorganic material substrate from the first conductor layer. The cavity portion is disposed on the opposite side of the inorganic material substrate from the first conductor layer and on the inorganic material substrate side of the support substrate. The ground conductor layer is disposed in the hollow portion. The thickness t of the inorganic material substrate satisfies the following formula (1). When the
patch antenna is projected in the thickness direction of the inorganic material substrate, at least a part of the projection surface of the
patch antenna overlaps the cavity.
