Abstract

An antenna device of a mobile terminal that can secure radiation performance is provided. The antenna device having a battery cover composed of a metal material includes a radiation unit for transmitting and receiving a signal, a feeding unit formed at an end portion of a first side of the radiation unit for electrically connecting the radiation unit to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB), and a ground part disposed a predetermined distance from the feeding unit and formed at a second side of the radiation unit. When the battery cover is fastened to the mobile terminal, the ground part contacts a first side of the battery cover.

Claims (20)

1. A mobile terminal comprising:

a first body composed of a metal material;

a second body composed of a nonmetal material; and

an antenna device disposed in second body,

wherein the antenna device comprises:

a radiation unit for transmitting and receiving a signal;

a feeding unit for electrically connecting the radiation unit to a Printed Circuit Board (PCB); and

a ground part disposed a predetermined distance from the feeding unit and extending from the radiation unit,

wherein the ground part is fastened to the first body.

2. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising a carrier for mounting the antenna device.

3. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising a connection member for electrically connecting the feeding unit and the PCB.

4. The mobile terminal of claim 3 , wherein the connection member comprises a C-clip.

5. The mobile terminal of claim 4 , wherein the C-clip is integrally formed with the feeding unit.

6. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first body is made from Steel Use Stainless (SUS).

7. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the radiation unit is formed as a monopole antenna or a Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA).

8. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , further comprising a third body composed of a metal material that contacts the first body at a side of the first body, and mounts the PCB.

9. The mobile terminal of claim 8 , wherein the third body contacts a ground of the PCB at a side of the PCB.

10. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the first body contacts a ground of the PCB.

11. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the ground part contacts a ground of the PCB.

12. The mobile terminal of claim 1 , wherein the ground part perpendicularly extends from a length-wise side of the radiation unit.
