  • Patent number: 8344952
    Abstract: A portable terminal with an antenna for receiving broadcast signals, includes an antenna module having a chip antenna patterned on a dielectric chip so as to define a physical length of the antenna module that enables the chip antenna to operate within a broadcast band, and a conductive plate connected to the chip antenna and having an area such that conductive plate leads a main radiation of the antenna module on the broadcast band, whereby the physical length of the antenna module can be reduced as short as possible by employing the chip antenna. Accordingly, the chip antenna facilitates making the antenna module and the portable terminal be smaller in size. Also, the chip antenna is configured to lead a main radiation on the conductive plate, thereby increasing radio reception quality and improving radio performance.

  • Patent number: 8275327
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wrist watch type mobile terminal, and may include a conductive metal housing connected with a band or strap to be worn on a human body, and formed to be operable as an antenna at a specific bandwidth, a wireless communication module configured to process a signal transmitted and/or received by the housing, and a feeding portion configured to electrically connect the metal housing with the wireless communication module. The metal housing thereof may function as an antenna transmitting and/or receiving a specific bandwidth, and thus has an advantage of facilitating the implementation of the wireless performance and improving the appearance thereof, compared to a case in which an antenna is disposed within the housing having a small and limited size.

  • Patent number: 7696931
    Abstract: An antenna comprises a high frequency antenna body, and a low frequency antenna body electrically connected to a point of the high frequency antenna body where a high frequency current distribution is minimized. By independently designing a high frequency bandwidth and a low frequency bandwidth from each other, an antenna having an optimum function in a desired frequency band can be easily fabricated.
