A broadband antenna element includes a circuit board, an antenna carrier connected to the circuit board, and a broadband antenna. The broadband antenna includes a first antenna and a second antenna which are conductive bent strips of metal. The first antenna includes a first feed terminal and a second feed terminal. The second antenna includes a third feed terminal and a coupling ground terminal. The second feed terminal and the coupling ground terminal are mounted on the circuit board keeping a first predetermined distance away from each other. The first feed terminal is mounted on the antenna carrier/circuit board being connected to the second feed terminal, and the third feed terminal is mounted on the antenna carrier being connected to the coupling ground terminal.
