Abstract:
An antenna apparatus for a portable terminal is provided. The portable terminal includes a printed circuit board (PCB) having a ground surface and RF components to process a wireless signal received through at least one antenna element. A housing forms an external appearance of the portable terminal, and has a non-conductive member with a plurality of metal fragments attached thereto. At least one of the metal fragments is electrically connected to the ground surface. The metal fragments may enhance the texture and durability of the housing. Preferably, the shapes, sizes and distances separating the metal fragments are designed to minimally impact, or improve, the antenna performance provided by the at least one antenna element.
Abstract:
An antenna device of a mobile communication terminal is provided, the device including at least one radiation pattern and at least one magneto dielectric module or dielectric module installed in a selected position on the radiation pattern to tune one or more resonance frequencies of the radiation pattern according to resonance frequencies required for the terminal The radiation pattern is selected from among one or more radiation patterns fabricated according to a usable frequency band. The one or more radiation patterns each include one or more resonance frequencies. The magneto dielectric module is selected from among one or more magneto dielectric modules fabricated for controlling the one or more resonance frequencies of the one or more radiation patterns. The dielectric module is selected from among one or more dielectric modules fabricated for controlling the one or more resonance frequencies of the one or more radiation patterns.
