Abstract

In a portable radio terminal unit, when a built-in antenna is provided, influence of user's body is to be reduced as small as possible to prevent deterioration of antenna characteristics. The built-in antenna is arranged in contact with a microphone unit positioned at lower portion of a unit casing. The microphone unit is mounted on a front casing forming the casing. Therefore, the built-in antenna is also mounted on the front casing. Thus, even during calling and browsing display, the built-in antenna may not contact with a user's head or may not be covered by the user's hand to reduce deterioration of the antenna characteristics for maintaining more stable communication characteristics.

Claims (23)

1. A portable radio terminal unit having an antenna built in a unit body, comprising:

the antenna mounted on a front casing in the vicinity of a microphone unit, wherein the front casing and a back casing of the unit body enclose the antenna and the microphone unit, and the microphone unit is arranged on the front casing,

said antenna including an antenna conductor, a reinforcement member for reinforcing said antenna conductor, and a connector terminal connecting said antenna conductor and a radio circuit,

wherein said antenna conductor, said reinforcement member and said connector terminal being integrated, and

wherein said reinforcement member is a resin mold and said antenna conductor and said connector terminal are integrated by said resin mold,

wherein said reinforcement member has a rectangular surface and said antenna conductor is a bar shaped conductor embedded in a groove on the rectangular surface, said bar shaped conductor consisting of only one side portion that extends along a length direction of the rectangular surface and another side portion that extends along a width direction of the rectangular surface.

2. A portable radio terminal unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said connector terminal is formed with a part of said antenna conductor.

3. A portable radio terminal unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said connector terminal is a probe shape.

4. A portable radio terminal unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said connector terminal is a resilient member.

5. A portable radio terminal unit as set forth in claim 1 , wherein said connector terminal is a coil shape.

6. A portable radio terminal unit according to claim 5 wherein both said coil connector and said antenna are completely arranged inside said unit body.

7. A portable radio terminal unit having an antenna built in a unit body, comprising:

the antenna mounted on a front casing in the vicinity of a microphone unit, wherein the front casing and a back casing of the unit body enclose the antenna and the microphone unit, and the microphone unit is arranged on the front casing,

said antenna including an antenna conductor, a reinforcement member for reinforcing said antenna conductor, and a connector terminal connecting said antenna conductor and a radio circuit,

wherein said antenna conductor, said reinforcement member and said connector terminal being integrated, and

wherein said reinforcement member is a resin mold and said antenna conductor and said connector terminal are integrated by said resin mold,

wherein said reinforcement member is formed as a rectangular parallelepiped and said antenna conductor is a stripe form conductor comprising a plurality of continuous parallel stripes that extend along three surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped reinforcement member.

8. A portable radio terminal unit having an antenna built in a unit body, comprising:

the antenna mounted on a front casing in the vicinity of a microphone unit, wherein the front casing and a back casing of the unit body enclose the antenna and the microphone unit, and the microphone unit is arranged on the front casing,

said antenna including an antenna conductor, a reinforcement member for reinforcing said antenna conductor, and a connector terminal connecting said antenna conductor and a radio circuit,

wherein said antenna conductor, said reinforcement member and said connector terminal being integrated, and

wherein said reinforcement member is a resin mold and said antenna conductor and said connector terminal are integrated by said resin mold,

wherein said reinforcement member is formed as a rectangular parallelepiped and said antenna conductor is a plate stripe form conductor comprising a plurality of continuous parallel stripes that extend along four side surfaces of the rectangular parallelepiped reinforcement member.
