Folding type portable wireless unit
View Patent ↗In a folding mobile radio device, a gain is lowered considerably in its close state under such a condition that an upper case is excited directly in its open state to aim at a wide band and a high gain is used as an antenna. A folding mobile radio device includes a first case, a second case, a jointing portion for connecting the first case and the second case to open/close, a conductor element arranged in the first case, and a feeding element arranged in the second case. Then, in an open state via the jointing portion, the conductor element and the feeding element come close to each other and are coupled magnetically at a time of feeding a power whereas, in a close state via the jointing portion, the conductor element and the feeding element are apart from each other rather than the open state and are not coupled magnetically at a time of feeding a power.
1. A folding mobile radio device, comprising:
a first case;
a second case;
a jointing portion that connects the first case and the second case to open/close the first case and the second case;
a conductor element that is arranged in an end portion of the first case which is adjacent to the jointing portion; and
a feeding element that is arranged in an end portion of the second case which is adjacent to the jointing portion,
wherein in an open state via the jointing portion, the conductor element and the feeding element are arranged so as to oppose to each other and are coupled capacitively at a time of feeding a power, and
wherein, in a close state via the jointing portion, the conductor element and the feeding element are apart from each other through the jointing portion, so as to change the strength of the capacitive coupling between the conductor element and the feeding element.
2. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 1 , wherein the feeding element has an electrical length of almost ¼ wavelength.
3. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor element is connected to a conductor plate arranged in the first case.
4. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor element is connected to a conductor cover fitted to the first case; and
wherein the conductor cover is connected to the conductor plate arranged in the first case via at least one contact.
5. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor element and the feeding element have flat plane portions respectively, and respective flat plane portions oppose closely to each other in the open state via the jointing portion.
6. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 1 , wherein main portions of the conductor element and the feeding element are in parallel with a rotation axis of the jointing portion.
7. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor element has an electrical length of almost ¼ wavelength.
8. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 1 , wherein one end of the conductor element is connected to the conductor plate arranged in the first case or connected to the conductor cover fitted to the first case, and other end of the conductor element is an open end.
9. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 8 , wherein a connection position of one end of the conductor element and the conductor plate arranged in the first case or the conductor cover fitted to the first case is located near the feeding portion of the feeding element.
10. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the conductor element and the feeding element is constructed by a plurality of elements having a different electrical length respectively.
11. The folding mobile radio device according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a first switching portion that switches a connection such that either one end of the conductor element is connected to the conductor plate arranged in the first case or the conductor cover fitted to the first case or is opened; and
a second switching portion that switches a connection such that either other end of the conductor element is connected to the conductor plate arranged in the first case or the conductor cover fitted to the first case or is opened.
