Abstract

Disclosed is an electronic device including an antenna device which is constituted by a plate like radiator being provided on a top surface side of a plate like dielectric and a plate like grounding conductor being provided on a back surface side of the plate like dielectric, a solar panel which is arranged on a top surface side of the antenna device and a circuit board which is arranged on a back surface side of the antenna device and electrically connected with an electrode formed at an outer circumference of the solar panel, and the outer circumference of the solar panel, excluding the electrode, is formed so as not to exceed outside from an outer circumference of the radiator, and the electrode projects outside from the outer circumference of the radiator and an outer circumference of the dielectric and is electrically connected with the circuit board at outside of the dielectric.

Claims (17)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

an antenna device which is constituted by a plate like radiator being provided on a top surface side of a plate like dielectric and a plate like grounding conductor being provided on a back surface side of the plate like dielectric, the plate like dielectric being sandwiched by the plate like radiator and the plate like grounding conductor;

a solar panel which is arranged on a top surface side of the antenna device; and

a circuit board which is arranged on a back surface side of the antenna device and electrically connected with an electrode formed at an outer circumference of the solar panel;

wherein

the outer circumference of the solar panel, excluding the electrode, is formed at an inner side than an outer circumference of the radiator,

the electrode projects, at a predetermined position excluding a cut-out portion of the radiator, outside from the outer circumference of the radiator and an outer circumference of the dielectric and is electrically connected with the circuit board at outside of the dielectric, and

the cut-out portion is formed at the outer circumference of the radiator and the outer circumference of the solar panel is formed at an inner side than a side of the cut-out portion which forms a bottom of the cut-out portion.

2. An electronic device, comprising:

an antenna device which is constituted by a plate like radiator being provided on a top surface side of a plate like dielectric and a plate like grounding conductor being provided on a back surface side of the plate like dielectric, the plate like dielectric being sandwiched by the plate like radiator and the plate like grounding conductor;

a solar panel which is arranged on a top surface side of the antenna device; and

a circuit board which is arranged on a back surface side of the antenna device and electrically connected with an electrode formed at an outer circumference of the solar panel;

wherein

the outer circumference of the solar panel, excluding the electrode, is formed at an inner side than the outer circumference of the radiator,

the electrode projects, at a predetermined position excluding a cut-out portion of the radiator, outside from the outer circumference of the radiator and an outer circumference of the dielectric and is electrically connected with the circuit board at outside of the dielectric,

an insulator is intervened between the solar panel and the radiator, and

the cut-out portion is formed at the outer circumference of the radiator and the outer circumference of the solar panel is formed at an inner side than a side of the cut-out portion which forms a bottom of the cut-out portion.
