  • Patent number: 9402302
    Abstract: A device for improving antenna receiving sensitivity in a portable terminal includes an antenna in a low-frequency band of less than 900 MHz which is mounted on a predetermined position in a body housing and a touch pad unit connected to the vicinity of the antenna through a FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board), in which the touch pad unit is grounded to a nearby body in the vicinity of the touch pad unit by using a conductive portion to block noise generated in the touch pad unit, thereby improving the antenna receiving sensitivity.
    Type: Grant
