Patent number: 7944399Abstract: There is provided an antenna device for use with a portable terminal, which can be used in different frequency bands by combining antenna characteristics. Whip antenna is electrically connected to power feeder through contact member, and resonates in a UHF band or higher when extended. Coiled antenna is electrically connected to power feeder through frequency filter mounted on device board. Frequency filter is set to a low impedance in a VHF band to supply electric power to coiled antenna. With this arrangement, external whip antenna is excited in the UHF band or higher, and built-in coiled antenna is mainly excited in the VHF band. The antenna device is thus capable of sending or receiving radio waves in a wide frequency band.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2008Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Nobuya Harano

Patent number: 7439917Abstract: Two antenna elements are planar and stored in a housing. An antenna element is arranged with the antenna faces of the antenna elements orthogonal to the plane of the substrate. The shape, interval, etc. of the antenna element depend on an available frequency. The length of an electric field vector generated between the substrate and the antenna element becomes longer as the antenna element is farther from the substrate. The frequency corresponding to the electric field vector changes corresponding to the radio signal frequency, that is, higher or lower. That is, in the above-mentioned antenna structure, the band of the frequency response is broader. Therefore, in the above-mentioned antenna structure, the frequency response band can be increase and space can be saved in storing an antenna in a housing using a simple structure in which the antenna face of an antenna element is arranged orthogonal to the plane of the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2004Date of Patent: October 21, 2008Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Nobuya Harano

Patent number: 7342552Abstract: In a compound portable terminal which supports two communication standards using different frequencies when an antenna is prepared for each communication standard, radio interference occurs in two antennas, and there is a possibility that bit errors increase. To avoid this possibility, there is a problem that two antennas need to be separated from each other as far as possible. To solve this problem, two elements are disposed in the vicinity of each other, a feeding terminal and a ground terminal are disposed in one of the elements, and a ground terminal is disposed in the other element. The other element has no feeding element. When transmission is performed from the feeding terminal, an induced current is produced in the element having no feeding terminal, and each element is excited by individual resonance frequency, and operate as antennas.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2004Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: NEC CorporationInventor: Nobuya Harano
