  • Patent number: 8180414
    Abstract: There is adopted an enclosure dipole antenna structure including antenna elements respectively provided in a lower enclosure and an upper enclosure. There is also adopted a structure in which the lower structure and the upper structure are rotatably joined together along two axes of hinges. The enclosures thereby become openable and closable in two directions including a vertical direction and a horizontal direction. There can be implemented high antenna performance without use of an external antenna even regardless of whether the enclosures are opened in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction. A feeding section and a connection section are separated from each other by a distance of 1/20 or more of a wavelength corresponding to an operating frequency. Power can well be fed to the antenna elements.

  • Publication number: 20070225052
    Abstract: A portable telephone with broadcast receiver realizing high sensitivity performance by interlocking with the screen display state both at the time of broadcast receiving and portable telephone communication, thereby attaining suitable antenna polarization characteristics. An antenna element (1) is mounted on a display section case (3) in such a manner that its helical axis direction is aligned with the longitudinal direction of a liquid crystal display section (2). The display section case (3) is connected to an upper case (5) rotatably through a rotary shaft (4). The upper case (5) is coupled to a lower case (7) to be opened/closed freely through a hinge part (6). Main polarization direction of the antenna element (1) is varied depending on the rotational state of the liquid crystal display section (2) where its screen becomes long laterally or longitudinally, thus ensuring antenna polarization characteristics suitable for both at the time of broadcast reception and portable telephone communication.
