  • Patent number: 7317422
    Abstract: A built-in antenna assembly of a wireless communication terminal is provided. A base is mounted on a substrate. A radiator is fixed onto an upper end of the base, and transmits/receives a signal. A terminal is extended along an outer surface of the base from the radiator to contact a contact pad protruded from the substrate. The terminal supplies a power to the radiator when in contact with the contact pad and is grounded. A terminal hooker is disposed on an underside surface of the base corresponding to a free end of the terminal so that the free end is fixed to the base. The invention allows easier and more flexible design for the terminal which is in electrical contact with the substrate of the built-in antenna. Moreover, the invention is universally applicable to various terminal models, and enhances productivity due to simpler configuration and easier assembling structure.
