  • Publication number: 20130295988
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a switch circuit switches a resonance frequency band of an antenna in a display unit between first and second resonance frequency bands. The second resonance frequency band is overlapped with a part of the first resonance frequency band and is higher than the first resonance frequency band. A wireless communication module wirelessly transmits and receives signals using a transmission frequency band and a reception frequency band which are included in the first resonance frequency band. A screen image orientation control module changes an orientation of a screen image displayed on the display unit. A resonance frequency shift module shifts the resonance frequency band of the antenna from the first resonance frequency band to the second frequency band by controlling the switch circuit when the orientation of the screen image is an orientation in which the antenna is positioned on a downward side of the screen image.

  • Patent number: 8154459
    Abstract: An antenna device included in a radio apparatus having a printed board includes a ground conductor provided in the printed board, a first sub-element, a second sub-element and a short circuit element. The first sub-element is formed as an area having a first side and a second side crossing each other. The first side faces a side of the ground conductor. The first sub-element has a feed portion around a crossing of the first side and the second side. The second sub-element is formed to branch off from the first sub-element around an end of the second side being farther from the crossing, to be open-ended and to be directed at least partially in a direction opposite a direction from the crossing to an end of the first side opposite the crossing. The short circuit element short-circuits one of the first sub-element and the second sub-element with the ground conductor.
