PURPOSE: To provide an antenna even along the curved surface of a bending part of a vehicle body by arranging plural bar-shaped cores in the lengthwise direction and winding a coil around them throughout in the lengthwise direction so that they can be bent.
CONSTITUTION: Plural bar-shaped cores 11, 12-1n like ferrite cores are arranged in the lengthwise direction and a coil 2 is wound around them throughout in the lengthwise direction to constitute an antenna A. A cable 4 is led out from the coil 2 of the antenna A and is connected to a receiver. Cores are connected by the coil 2 and the outside peripheral surface is coated with an insulator 3. A flexible synthetic resin may be used as the insulator 3, and a thermally contractible tube or a thin formed material can be used. Since the antenna A constituted in this manner has bar-shaped cores 11, 12-1n merely connected to one another by the coil 2, bar-shaped cores have a slight flexibility and form a bend as the whole or partially.
