A folding dipole antenna having remarkably multi-band characteristics as compared with prior art. Element width at the short portions (12d, 11d) of any one of an upper element (12) or a lower element (11) is set wider than that of the other element, and the element width at the long part of the upper element (12) or the lower element (11) on the feed side is set wider than that of the element on the non-feed side.
