1. A circular polarized wave antenna, comprising:
a group of metallic conductors; and
a power feed point formed at one of the metallic conductors;
wherein an absolute value of a sum of projections of an electric current induced on the metallic conductors in a first axis and an absolute value of a sum of projection of the electric current in a second axis that is spatially orthogonal to the first axis are approximately equal to each other, and an absolute value of a difference between arguments of the sums of the projections in the first and second axes is approximately 90°.
