1. An antenna, comprising:
a radiation conductor;
a ground conductor;
a first feeding line electromagnetically connected to the radiation conductor and configured to excite the radiation conductor in a first direction;
a second feeding line electromagnetically connected to the radiation conductor and configured to excite the radiation conductor in a second direction; and
a connecting conductor configured to electrically connect the radiation conductor to the ground conductor, the connecting conductor being positioned apart from a center of the radiation conductor,
wherein
a direction connecting the first feeding line and the connecting conductor is inclined with respect to the first direction,
a direction connecting the second feeding line and the connecting conductor is inclined with respect to the second direction,
the first feeding line is positioned apart from a first axis extending in the first direction through the center of the radiation conductor, and
the second feeding line is positioned apart from a second axis extending in the second direction through the center of the radiation conductor.
