Abstract

A wireless terminal including a display device; a first conductive plate that supports the display device; a second conductive plate that supports the display device; a circuit board including a ground pattern that is connected to the first conductive plate; a radio frequency (RF) circuit mounted on the circuit board; and a first feeding unit connected to the RF circuit and disposed between the first and second conductive plates.

Claims (49)

1. A wireless terminal comprising:

a first conductive plate;

a second conductive plate;

a circuit board including a ground pattern that is connected to the first conductive plate;

a radio frequency (RF) circuit mounted on the circuit board;

a first feed connected to the RF circuit and disposed between the first and second conductive plates;

an antenna including an antenna radiating element; and

a second feed connected to the RF circuit and disposed between the second conductive plate and the antenna.

2. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , wherein

the first conductive plate is not in direct contact with the second conductive plate.

3. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , wherein

the first conductive plate and the second conductive plate are attached via a non-conductive rigid material.

4. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

a display device, wherein

the first and second conductive plates support the display device, and

the display device and the first and second conductive plates each have a planar shape.

5. The wireless terminal of claim 4 , wherein

the display device and the first and second conductive plates are disposed such that planar surfaces of the display device and the first and second conductive plates are parallel.

6. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

a plurality of electrically connecting members disposed between the circuit board and the first and second conductive plates that connect the RF circuit to the first and second conductive plates.

7. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , wherein

the RF circuit feeds power from the first conductive plate to the second conductive plate via the first feed.

8. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , wherein

the RF circuit feeds power from the first conductive plate to the second conductive plate via the first feed.

9. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , wherein

the RF circuit feeds power from the second conductive plate to the antenna via the second feed.

10. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

a reactive element connecting the first and second conductive plates.

11. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

a reactive element connecting the second conductive plate and the antenna.

12. The wireless terminal of claim 1 , further comprising:

a housing including a first casing part and a second casing part that are electrically insulated from one another.

13. The wireless terminal of claim 12 , wherein

the first casing part is electrically connected to the ground pattern of the circuit board and the first conductive plate.

14. The wireless terminal of claim 12 , wherein

the second casing part is electrically connected to second conductive plate.

15. The wireless terminal of claim 12 , wherein

the first casing part and the second casing part are attached via a non-conductive rigid material.

16. A wireless terminal, comprising:

a first conductive plate;

a second conductive plate;

a circuit board including a ground pattern that is connected to the first conductive plate;

a radio frequency (RF) circuit mounted on the circuit board;

a first feed connected to the RF circuit and disposed between the first and second conductive plates; and

a second feed connected to the RF circuit and disposed between the first and second conductive plates.

17. The wireless terminal of claim 16 , wherein

the RF circuit feeds power from the first conductive plate to the second conductive plate via the first feed.

18. The wireless terminal of claim 16 , wherein

the RF circuit feeds power from the second conductive plate to the first conductive plate via the second feed.
