  • Publication number: 20100149051
    Abstract: An antenna device of a portable wireless terminal is provided. The device includes a mainboard, a slot cover, and an electrical connection unit. The mainboard includes a feed part connected to a Radio Frequency (RF) connector. The slot cover opens/closes a slot formed in a case frame forming an appearance of the portable wireless terminal in order to connect to a connector of an external apparatus, and includes an antenna radiator for transmitting/receiving a signal in a relevant frequency band. The electrical connection unit electrically connects the slot cover with the feed part. Therefore, the antenna device may improve a radiation performance by securing a space of the antenna radiator without increasing the volume of the terminal.
