Abstract:
An apparatus interworking with a metal member used both as an antenna and a sensor element in a portable terminal is disclosed. The apparatus includes the metal member, responsive to a sensed body, and for transmitting and receiving a signal in at least one or more communication service bands, and a main board having a communication module for processing a signal transmitted and received by the metal member and a sensor module for obtaining information in response to the approach of a sensed body.
Abstract:
An electronic device with an antenna device is provided. The electronic device includes a case member that includes a first face, a second face disposed opposite to the first face, and side walls that enclose a space between the first face and the second face, a first metallic member that forms at least a portion of the side walls of the case member or is formed adjacent to the side walls, a metal pattern disposed within the case member and extends from a portion of the first metallic member to another portion of the first metallic member, the first metallic member and the metal pattern electrically forming at least a portion of a closed loop, a wireless communication circuit electrically connected to a portion of the metal pattern, a ground member positioned within the case member, and a portion of the metal pattern disposed adjacent to the ground member.
