There is disclosed an antenna device made up of at least first, second and third conductive metal plates arranged in a parallelepiped configuration. The third plate defines a lower plane and the first and second plates together define an upper plane substantially parallel to the lower plane. The first and second plates are separated by a slot in the upper plane, and the second and third plates are connected to each other by a grounding connection. The first plate comprises a first, active antenna arm that is provided with a feed connection, and the second plate comprises a second antenna arm that may be passive or active. The antenna device generates a circularly polarized radiation pattern that is good for personal navigation devices, while being significantly more compact than existing ceramic patch antennas that are typically used in these devices.
