  • Publication number: 20100240424
    Abstract: There is adopted an enclosure dipole antenna structure including antenna elements respectively provided in a lower enclosure and an upper enclosure. There is also adopted a structure in which the lower structure and the upper structure are rotatably joined together along two axes of hinges. The enclosures thereby become openable and closable in two directions including a vertical direction and a horizontal direction. There can be implemented high antenna performance without use of an external antenna even regardless of whether the enclosures are opened in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. A feeding section and a connection section are separated from each other by a distance of 1/20 or more of a wavelength corresponding to an operating frequency. Power can well be fed to the antenna elements.

  • Patent number: 7787922
    Abstract: To provide a cell phone equipped with a broadcast receiver that delivers a high receiving sensitivity and antenna performance in various usage states. A loop element 12 as an antenna for receiving television broadcast is arranged in a range (c) of an upper end portion of an upper housing 1. An end part of an upper circuit board 6 is matched with a portion shown by (a) so that a conductor other than the antenna element does not exist in the range (c). A monopole element 19 for cell phone communication is arranged at a lower end portion of a lower housing 2.

  • Publication number: 20100216419
    Abstract: A portable wireless device that makes it possible to maintain any desired matching state and can suppress an increase in the loss accompanying matching if the impedance characteristic of an antenna changes with expansion/storage of the antenna, deformation of a housing, etc., is provided. Two channels of signal paths that can be selected by switch section 11, 15 are provided between an antenna 10 and a reception circuit 16; a first low noise amplifier 13 that can amplify a received high frequency signal is provided in one path and a second low noise amplifier 18 having an impedance characteristic different from the low noise amplifier 13 is provided in the other signal path. The form of the antenna 10 or the form of a housing is detected in a form change detection section 20 and the two channels of signal paths are automatically switched in a control section and two types of impedance matching states are used properly.

  • Publication number: 20100216529
    Abstract: A portable radio device of a type having two-direction openable and closable enclosures that can effectively lessen influence on an antenna exerted by a hinge section is provided. A horizontal hinge section 5 for rotatably joining an upper enclosure 1 to a hinge enclosure 3 around a first shaft center includes a horizontal hinge anchor 52 electrically connected to a first metal part 13 disposed in the upper enclosure 1, a horizontal hinge plate 53 that is placed in the hinge enclosure 3 and that contains a conductive material, and a first hinge shaft 51 that electrically connects the horizontal hinge anchor 52 to the horizontal hinge plate 53 and that contains a conductive material interposed between an area from a substantial center to an end of a long side of a face along which the upper enclosure 1 and the hinge enclosure 3 face a direction of second shaft center (X).
