ABSTRACT:
An antenna/mirror combination apparatus in which the space occupied by a low-profile antenna is reduced with internal space of a mirror case being effectively utilized for the other purposes and which can be realized inexpensively in a small size without impairing the degree of freedom in design owing to an integral combination of the antenna array with a mirror. The apparatus includes a mirror (3) having an electrically conductive reflecting mirror surface (10) and a low-profile antenna (8) having an electrically conductive antenna element, wherein the low-profile antenna (8) is disposed and combined integrally with the mirror (3) such that at least a part of the antenna element functions as a part of the reflecting mirror surface (10).
