Electronic apparatus and electro-magnetic interference reduction method
An electronic device (communication device) including a reflecting member having a reflecting surface that causes electro-magnetic waves emanating from a predetermined part of the electronic device in a predetermined radiating direction to be reflected in a direction other than the radiating direction.
1 . An electronic device comprising:
an insertion port into which a communication cable can be inserted; and
a reflecting member that includes:
a reflecting surface that causes electro-magnetic waves emanating from a predetermined part of the electronic device in a predetermined radiating direction to be reflected in a direction other than the radiating direction, and
a cutaway portion cut away that is configured to receive the communication cable when the communication cable is inserted into the insertion port.
2 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the reflecting member has a pull-out portion that separates the reflecting surface from the predetermined part of the electronic device by a predetermined distance.
3 . The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the reflecting member is configured to include the pull-out portion extending from the electronic device in the radiating direction and a reflecting portion having the reflecting surface, the reflecting portion being bent at a predetermined part relative to the pull-out portion in such a manner that the reflecting surface is at a predetermined angle relative to a direction of extension of the pull-out portion.
4 . The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein a distance from the predetermined part to the bent part is 50 millimeters or less.
5 . The electronic device according to claim 3 , wherein the reflecting portion is bent relative to the pull-out portion in such a manner that the reflecting surface is at an angle greater than 20 degrees and up to 80 degrees relative to the direction of extension of the pull-out portion.
6 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the reflecting surface of the reflecting member is formed of a metallic member.
7 . The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the reflecting member is a substantially planar member connected to the electronic device,
the reflecting member having the reflecting surface that causes the electro-magnetic waves emanating from the predetermined part in the radiating direction to be reflected in a direction other than the radiating direction.
8 . An electro-magnetic interference reduction method, the electro-magnetic interference reduction method comprising:
furnishing the electronic device of claim 1 .
9 . An electronic device comprising:
a reflecting member that includes a reflecting surface that causes electro-magnetic waves emanating from a predetermined part of the electronic device in a predetermined radiating direction to be reflected in a direction other than the radiating direction; and
an attachment/detachment structure configured to permit attachment and detachment of the reflecting member.
10 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein
the electronic device has an insertion port into which a communication cable can be inserted, and
the reflecting member has a cutaway portion cut away therefrom in such a manner that is configured to receive the communication cable when the communication cable is inserted into the insertion port.
11 . An electro-magnetic interference reduction method, the electro-magnetic interference reduction method comprising:
furnishing the electronic device of claim 9 .
12 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the reflecting member has a pull-out portion that separates the reflecting surface from the predetermined part of the electronic device by a predetermined distance.
13 . The electronic device according to claim 12 , wherein the reflecting member is configured to include the pull-out portion extending from the electronic device in the radiating direction and a reflecting portion having the reflecting surface, the reflecting portion being bent at a predetermined part relative to the pull-out portion in such a manner that the reflecting surface is at a predetermined angle relative to a direction of extension of the pull-out portion.
14 . The electronic device according to claim 13 , wherein a distance from the predetermined part to the bent part is 50 millimeters or less.
15 . The electronic device according to claim 13 , wherein the reflecting portion is bent relative to the pull-out portion in such a manner that the reflecting surface is at an angle greater than 20 degrees and up to 80 degrees relative to the direction of extension of the pull-out portion.
16 . The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the reflecting surface of the reflecting member is formed of a metallic member.
