1. An antenna module, comprising:
a flexible substrate;
an integrated circuit (IC);
an antenna unit comprising one or more dielectric layers, wherein the antenna unit is disposed closer to a first end of the flexible substrate than a second end of the flexible substrate; and
a base connection portion disposed closer to the second end of the flexible substrate than the first end of the flexible substrate, and electrically connected to the antenna unit through the flexible substrate,
wherein the antenna unit and the base connection portion are disposed on at least one of a first surface of the flexible substrate and a second surface of the flexible substrate,
wherein the at least one of the first surface of the flexible substrate and the second surface of the flexible substrate has a form such that an extending direction between the first end of the flexible substrate and the second end of the flexible substrate is bent in a lateral direction of the at least one of the first surface of the flexible substrate and the second surface of the flexible substrate in a plan view.
