Abstract

An antenna includes two elements having an antenna element which resonates by a frequency f 1 and a ground wire element which resonates by a frequency f 2 higher than the frequency f 1 . The antenna element is directed so that an antenna radiation part is located to be substantially parallel to a surface of a casing on which an operating part is provided. The ground wire element is directed so that a ground wire radiation part is located substantially vertically to the surface of the casing on which the operating part is provided. Further, a space between a feeding terminal connecting part of the antenna element and a ground terminal connecting part of the ground wire element is set to be equal to a space between a feeding terminal and a ground terminal and the feeding terminal connecting part is arranged to be parallel to the ground terminal connecting part.

Claims (33)

1. A portable wireless device including:

a casing;

an operating part provided on the casing;

a circuit board provided in the casing and having a ground and a radio circuit;

an antenna element provided in the casing and arranged so as to be spaced with a prescribed distance from the ground on the circuit board;

a ground wire element provided in the casing and arranged so as to be spaced with a prescribed distance from the ground on the circuit board;

a feeding terminal connected to the radio circuit on the circuit board and the antenna element; and

a ground terminal connected to the ground on the circuit board and the ground wire element, wherein

the antenna element is configured to resonate by a first frequency,

the ground wire element is configured to resonate by a second frequency higher than the first frequency,

the feeding terminal and the ground terminal are close to each other,

the antenna element and the ground wire element have a parallel part in the vicinity of the feeding terminal and the ground terminal, and

the ground wire element has a part more separated from the operating part than at least the parallel part of the antenna element and the ground wire element in a direction of thickness of the casing.

2. A portable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein

a space between the feeding terminal and the ground terminal is as narrow as 0.1λ or shorter at the second frequency.

3. A portable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein

the antenna element and the ground wire element are formed in the shapes of plates.

4. A portable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein

the parallel part of the antenna element and the ground wire element is arranged in parallel with the direction of thickness of the casing.

5. A portable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein

surfaces of the antenna element and the ground wire element substantially intersect at right angles except the parallel part thereof.

6. A portable wireless device according to claim 5 , wherein

the ground wire element is arranged so that a ground wire radiation part thereof is located to be substantially parallel to a surface of the casing on which the operating part is provided.

7. A portable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein

an antenna radiation part of the antenna element and a ground wire radiation part of the ground wire element are parallel to each other.

8. A portable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein

the antenna element and the ground wire element are respectively arranged so as to have directions opposite to each other except the parallel part of the antenna element and the ground wire element.

9. A portable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein

the antenna element is formed to have a plurality of planes.

10. A portable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein

the ground wire element is formed to have a plurality of planes.

11. A portable wireless device according to claim 1 , wherein

the antenna element is formed to have a plurality of antenna radiation parts.
