Abstract

An electronic device includes a ring-shaped antenna element, a conductor and a dielectric. The conductor has the same potential as GND. The dielectric is interposed between the antenna element and the conductor. The antenna element, the dielectric and the conductor are disposed so as to lie on top of one another in plan view.

Claims (13)

1. An electronic device comprising: a ring-shaped antenna element;

a conductor having a potential same as GND; and

a dielectric interposed between the antenna element and the conductor,

wherein the antenna element, the dielectric and the conductor are disposed so as to lie on top of one another in plan view, and

wherein the dielectric includes a plurality of dielectrics.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , comprising a body case disposed below the antenna element and functioning as the conductor having the potential same as the GND.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of dielectrics includes a first dielectric having a recess on a peripheral surface and a second dielectric disposed in the recess and having a permittivity different from the first dielectric.

4. The electronic device according to claim 2 ,

wherein the plurality of dielectrics includes a third dielectric disposed between the antenna element and the body case and a fourth dielectric contacting the third dielectric on a first surface and contacting the antenna element on a second surface different from the first surface, and

wherein a threaded portion is formed on the second surface of the fourth dielectric to fasten the fourth dielectric to the antenna element.

5. The electronic device according to claim 4 , wherein the third dielectric is less harder than the fourth dielectric.

6. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the body case is formed of a metal material.

7. A wrist device comprising the electronic device according to claim 1 .
