Abstract

An electronic device is disclosed. The electronic device includes an antenna module having an antenna, and a body chassis storing electronic components. The body chassis, which is made of an electromagnetic shielding material such as metal, has a flat plate with a processor arranged thereon and with a cutout portion formed at an end portion thereof, a rear plate connected to the end portion of the flat plate, and a dent wall connected to the cutout portion and to the rear plate. The antenna module is provided in an antenna section whose front, left, and right sides are enclosed by the dent wall.

Claims (20)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a plurality of antennae;

a body chassis for storing electronic components, wherein said body chassis includes a plurality of antenna sections located at cutout portions along edges of said body chassis,

wherein one of said antenna sections includes a section of a bottom cover of said body chassis,

a front dent wall, and two side dent walls, connected to each other orthogonally; and an plurality of antenna modules for containing said plurality of antennae, wherein one of said antenna modules includes a base portion, and a pedestal for supporting one of said antennae,

wherein said base portion is connected to said front and said two side dent walls;

wherein said a base portion having includes a top plate connected to said front and said two side dent walls, and

a rear plate connected to said top plate, said two side dent walls, and said bottom cover section of said body chassis.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein said body chassis is made of an electromagnetic shielding material.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein said electromagnetic shielding material is carbon.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein said front and said two side dent walls are made of an electromagnetic shielding material.

5. The electronic device of claim 4 , wherein said electromagnetic shielding material is carbon.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein said rear plate has a first inclined surface, a second inclined surface, and a third inclined surface.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein said base portion is made of a radio wave transmitting material.

8. The electronic device of claim 7 , wherein said radio wave transmitting material is polyphenylene sulfide.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein one of said antenna sections is located at a rear edge of said body chassis.

10. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein one of said antenna sections is located at a front edge of said body chassis.

11. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein one of said antenna sections is located at a side edge of said body chassis.

12. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein said body chassis includes a keyboard.

13. The electronic device of claim 12 , wherein said body chassis is rotatably connected to a display chassis having a display.
