Abstract

A portable terminal apparatus can attain a cost reduction and miniaturization. An antenna is accommodated in a housing of the portable terminal apparatus. The antenna includes a plurality of independent antenna wiring portions formed on a flexible base. A printed-wiring board, accommodated in the housing, has a wiring pattern connected to the antenna. An intersection part is provided in the printed-wiring board where a part of the wiring pattern crosses another part of the wiring pattern so as to connect the antenna wiring portions in a loop form.

Claims (18)

1. A portable terminal apparatus comprising:

a housing accommodating component parts therein;

an antenna accommodated in said housing, said antenna including a plurality of independent antenna wiring portions formed on a flexible base;

a printed-wiring board accommodated in said housing, said printed-wiring boar having a wiring pattern connected to said antenna; and

an intersection part provided in said printed-wiring board where a part of said wiring pattern crosses another part of said wiring pattern so as to connect said antenna wiring portions in a loop form.

2. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said antenna is a flat cable antenna.

3. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said printed-wiring board is a multilayer printed-wiring board.

4. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said wiring pattern forms an antenna pattern on said printed-wiring board, and the antenna pattern is connected to said antenna.

5. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , wherein said flat cable is arranged in an upright to a plane of said printed-wiring board, and a part of said flat cable is twisted so that an end of said flat cable is parallel to the plane of said printed-wiring board in a vicinity of a connecting portion where said flat cable is connected to said printed-wiring board.

6. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein said flat cable is arranged in an upright to a plane of said printed-wiring board, and a part of said flat cable is twisted so that an end of said flat cable is parallel to the plane of said printed-wiring board in a vicinity of a connecting portion where said flat cable is connected to said printed-wiring board.

7. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said wiring pattern forms an antenna pattern on said printed-wiring board, and the antenna pattern is connected to said antenna.

8. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein said flat cable is arranged in an upright to a plane of said printed-wiring board, and a part of said flat cable is twisted so that an end of said flat cable is parallel to the plane of said printed-wiring board in a vicinity of a connecting portion where said flat cable is connected to said printed-wiring board.

9. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said wiring pattern forms an antenna pattern on said printed-wiring board, and the antenna pattern is connected to said antenna.

10. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein said flat cable is arranged in an upright to a plane of said printed-wiring board, and a part of said flat cable is twisted so that an end of said flat cable is parallel to the plane of said printed-wiring board in a vicinity of a connecting portion where said flat cable is connected to said printed-wiring board.

11. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said flat cable is arranged in an upright to a plane of said printed-wiring board, and a part of said flat cable is twisted so that an end of said flat cable is parallel to the plane of said printed-wiring board in a vicinity of a connecting portion where said flat cable is connected to said printed-wiring board.

12. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said printed-wiring board is a multilayer printed-wiring board.

13. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 12 , wherein said wiring pattern forms an antenna pattern on said printed-wiring board, and the antenna pattern is connected to said antenna.

14. The portable terminal apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said wiring pattern forms an antenna pattern on said printed-wiring board, and the antenna pattern is connected to said antenna.
