Abstract

A radio apparatus includes a first housing containing a first printed circuit board, second housing containing a second printed circuit board and being connected so as to be opened and closed to the first housing, an unbalanced-fed type antenna configured to be fed from one of the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board, and a magnetic material layer arranged to be located between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board if the second housing is closed to the first housing.

Claims (12)

1. A radio apparatus, comprising:

a first housing containing a first printed circuit board;

a second housing containing a second printed circuit board, the second housing being connected to the first housing so as to be openable and closeable with respect to the first housing;

an unbalanced-fed type antenna configured to be fed from one of the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board; and

a magnetic material layer arranged to be located between the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board if the second housing is closed with respect to the first housing, wherein only a single layer of the magnetic material layer is provided in the first housing or the second housing.

2. The radio apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic material layer is arranged on a face of the second printed circuit board, the face being opposite the first housing if the second housing is closed with respect to the first housing.

3. The radio apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic material layer is arranged on a fringe portion of a face of the second printed circuit board, the face being opposite the first housing if the second housing is closed with respect to the first housing.

4. The radio apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the magnetic material layer has a width no less than six thousandth wavelength of a frequency of use.

5. The radio apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic material layer is arranged on a portion along a short side of a face of the second printed circuit board, the face being opposite the first housing if the second housing is closed with respect to the first housing.

6. The radio apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first housing and the second housing are connected so as to be folded to each other.

7. The radio apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first housing and the second housing are connected so as to slide against each other.

8. The radio apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first housing and the second housing are connected so as to rotate around two axes which are perpendicular to each other.
