Abstract

An antenna of a mobile communication terminal has a plate-shaped dielectric; a conductor line formed to the dielectric and having a leading end connected to a transceiving section of the mobile communication terminal and a terminal end extendingly formed into a shape curved from the leading end and located at a middle part of the plate-shaped dielectric; and an assistance radiator electrically connected to the terminal end of the conductor line and mounted to surround the plate-shaped dielectric. According to the antenna, since there is provided the assistance radiator, it is possible to shorten the length of the antenna while maintaining the overall length of the conductor line to be same and to improve the average radiation gain of the antenna.

Claims (18)

1. An antenna of a mobile communication terminal comprising:

a dielectric;

a conductor line formed on the dielectric and having a leading end connected to a transceiving section of the mobile communication terminal and a terminal end extendingly formed into a shape curved from the leading end;

an assistance radiator electrically connected to the terminal end of the conductor line and mounted to surround a predetermined portion of the dielectric and the conductor line; and

a housing which partially or completely covers the dielectric, the conductor line and the assistance radiator from the outside

wherein the assistance radiator has two symmetrical surfaces and the dielectric is arranged between the two symmetrical surfaces.

2. The antenna of the mobile communication terminal as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the conductor line is formed on a surface of the dielectric, and the assistance radiator is made of conductive material having a shape surrounding a predetermined portion of the dielectric and mounted to be spaced from the dielectric at a predetermined distance.

3. The antenna of the mobile communication terminal as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the terminal end of the conductor line is formed with a through-hole passing through the dielectric, and an opened end of the assistance radiator comprises a connection piece passing through the through-hole to electrically connect with the terminal end of the conductor line.

4. An antenna of a mobile communication terminal comprising:

a dielectric;

a conductor line which is embedded in the dielectric to function as a radiator;

an assistance radiator electrically connected to the conductor line and mounted to surround a predetermined portion of the dielectric and the conductor line; and

a housing which partially or completely covers the dielectric, the conductor line and the assistance radiator from the outside

wherein the assistance radiator has two symmetrical surfaces and the dielectric is arranged between the two symmetrical surfaces.

5. The antenna of the mobile communication terminal as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the terminal end of the conductor line is exposed to an exterior by a hole formed on a surface of the dielectric, and an opened end of the assistance radiator comprises a connection piece inserted into the hole to electrically connect with the terminal end of the conductor line.

6. The antenna of the mobile communication terminal as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the assistance radiator is removably mounted on the dielectric.

7. A mobile communication terminal having an antenna, wherein the antenna comprises a dielectric; a conductor line which is embedded in the dielectric to function as a radiator; an assistance radiator electrically connected to the conductor line and mounted to surround a predetermined portion of the dielectric and the conductor line; and a housing which partially or completely covers the dielectric, the conductor line and the assistance radiator from the outside

wherein the assistance radiator has two symmetrical surfaces and the dielectric is arranged between the two symmetrical surfaces.
