Electronic device
View Patent ↗According to one embodiment, an electronic device is provided with the following an antenna, a first radio module configured to perform wireless communications by use of the antenna, a second radio module configured to perform wireless communications by use of the antenna, a first printed circuit board with reference to which the second radio module is attachable or detachable, a first cable which connects the antenna and the second radio module together, a second cable which connects the second radio module and the first radio module together, and a connection mechanism which connects the first and second cables together in a state where the second radio module is detached from the first printed circuit board.
1. An electronic device comprising:
an antenna;
a first radio module configured to perform wireless communications by use of the antenna;
a first printed circuit board to which a second radio module is attachable;
a connection mechanism located within an attachment area on the first printed circuit board and configured to electrically connect the antenna and the first radio module;
a first cable to connect the antenna and the connection mechanism together; and
a second cable to connect the connection mechanism and the first radio module together.
2. The electronic device of claim l, wherein the connection mechanism includes
a first relay connector to connect the antenna and the first cable and
a second relay connector to connect the first radio module and the second cable.
3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the connection mechanism includes a wiring line to connect the relay connectors together.
4. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the second cable is shorter than the first cable.
5. The electronic device of claim l, wherein the first printed circuit board includes a square connector to which the second radio module is attached.
6. The electronic device of claim l, wherein a circuit component is mounted within an attachment area on the first printed circuit board.
7. The electronic device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a second printed circuit board mounted on the attachment area, wherein the second printed circuit board comprises a first terminal and a second terminal.
