  • ELECTRONIC APPARATUS
    Publication number: 20130229313
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a casing, a circuit board, and a feeding element. The casing is made of conducting material, and comprises at least one feeding point. The circuit board is disposed in the casing. The feeding element is disposed in the electronic apparatus, and contacts the feeding point of the casing for transmitting signals between the circuit board and the casing, so that the casing functions as a radiation body of an antenna. Accordingly, the signal shielding of the antenna can be avoided, and it is unnecessary to change the material of the casing to plastic, which needs additional manufacturing process. After several times of tests, configuring the feeding point at the corner of the casing can provide higher performance of transmission.
