  • Patent number: 7002521
    Abstract: Feed point (101) performs unbalanced feeding to an antenna element (102). A parasitic element (104) is provided near the antenna element (102) and a ground plane (103), approximately parallel to the width direction of the ground plane (103). Moreover, the parasitic element (104) is configured in a length to operate as a director when provided on the side of the body with respect to the ground plane (103) during talk time and in a length to operate as a reflector when provided on the opposite side from the body with respect to the ground plane (103). By this means, it is possible to improve gain and reduce the specific absorption rate (SAR) during talk time.

  • Publication number: 20050214068
    Abstract: A rib portion (125) constituting a joining device is provided at an upper side plate portion (122) of an upper case of a disc apparatus. At a lower side plate portion (132) of a lower case to be attached to the upper case, an engagement portion (136) constituting the joining device is provided to bias the upper side plate portion (122) in the direction of contacting the upper side plate portion (122) and the lower side plate portion (132) by engaging a rib portion (125). As such, a simple constitution of merely engaging the rib portion (125) and the engagement portion (136) with each other to attach the upper case to the lower case enables the plate portion (122) to be biased in the direction of providing the contacting of the upper side plate portion (122) and the lower side plate portion (132), so as to allow facilitating the contacting of the upper side plate portion (122) and the lower side plate portion (132).

  • Publication number: 20050178568
    Abstract: An upper side plate portion (122) of an upper case comprises an insertion hole (122C) for a setscrew (130) and a resilient deformable portion (124) having a rib (125). When the upper case is attached to a lower case using the setscrew (130), the restoring force of resilient deformation of the resilient deformable portion (124) crimps the rib (125) to a lower side plate (112) of the lower case with a pressure force (W10). Accordingly, only the attachment of both cases with the setscrew (130) crimps the rib (125) of the upper case to the lower side plate (112) of the lower case with the pressure force (W10) and reduces the surface resistance value in a contact portion with the rib (125) in the lower side plate (112) below a predetermined value. Thus, the conduction between the upper case and the lower case can be easily and reliably ensured.

  • Patent number: 6924769
    Abstract: The unbalanced feeding antenna element 201 is fed power from one end and placed on the upper surface of the circuit substrate 103. The passive element 202 has open both ends, is set to a length corresponding to a predetermined frequency, placed in substantially parallel to the unbalanced feeding element 201 placed on the circuit substrate 103 at a distance of approximately 1/10 or less of a wavelength at a frequency used for transmission/reception. This suppresses the antenna current flowing into the circuit substrate 103 to a minimum level and makes radiation from the passive element 202 dominant compared to radiation from the circuit substrate 103. This makes it possible to suppress a reduction in the antenna gain caused by the human body when the user uses the communication terminal apparatus.

  • Patent number: 6781556
    Abstract: A built-in antenna device that broadens bandwidth and that realizes further miniaturization and thin-modeling without making a device itself a flat shape, while still enhancing gain and reducing SAR (specific Absorption Rate). The self impedance of dipole antenna 12, the self impedance of parasitic element 14, and the mutual impedance between dipole antenna 12 and parasitic element 14 change as the length and girth of dipole antenna 12 and parasitic element 14, and the distance therebetween are adjusted to predetermined levels, so as to broaden bandwidth by changing the input impedance of built-in antenna 10.
