Abstract

The housing includes a first base portion and a second base portion which are conductive respectively. The first base portion and the second base portion are disposed in contact. The antenna element is connected to the antenna ground. The antenna ground is formed on the antenna board. The gasket is located between the first base portion and the antenna ground in a height direction of the housing, and is conductive. The fixing member fixes the second base portion and the antenna ground so that the second base portion and the antenna ground are electrically connectable to each other in a state where the gasket is in contact with the first base portion and the antenna ground.

Claims (19)

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a housing comprising a first base portion and a second base portion which are conductive respectively, wherein the first base portion and the second base portion are disposed in contact with each other, the second base portion includes a cylindrical portion projecting to a backside of the housing, a screw hole is formed at an inside of the cylindrical portion, and the first base portion has a rectangular portion projecting to the backside of the housing;

an antenna element;

an antenna ground to which the antenna element is connected;

an antenna board on which at least the antenna ground is formed;

a gasket which is located between the first base portion and the antenna ground in a height direction of the housing, and which is conductive; and

a fixing member which fixes the second base portion and the antenna ground so that the second base portion is in contact with the antenna ground, and the second base portion and the antenna ground are electrically connectable to each other in a state where the gasket is in contact with the first base portion and the antenna ground.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second base portion projects from a surface of the housing, closer to a surface of the antenna ground than the first base portion in the height direction.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a cover which is made of a material able to transmit radio waves, and which covers the antenna board,

wherein the cover supports the antenna board and is attached to the housing.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a resonant frequency of the antenna element is greater than or equal to 2.4 GHz.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

an insertion hole, into which the fixing member is inserted, is formed on the antenna ground, and

on the antenna ground, a distance between a portion where a communication cable is connected to the antenna ground and the gasket is shorter than a distance between the portion and the insertion hole.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the second base portion is directly connected to the antenna ground.

7. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein

the first base portion and the second base portion face the antenna ground, and

the second base portion is screwed to the antenna ground directly by the fixing member using the screw hole.
