As shown in Figure 6, in first housing 1 (low shell 5), the board side splicing ear 34c (referring to Fig. 3 and 7) of antenna bonding conductor 34 is connected to the high frequency waves input/output point of the radio circuit parts of installing on the circuitry substrate 45,, is connected to the distributing point of antenna by contact spring 54 that is.
As shown in the figure, FPC 55 is arranged in the space of coverings such as hinged cover 17,27.FPC 55 is joined to one another the circuit board in circuit board 45 in first housing 1 (drain pan 5) and second housing 2 (drain pan 12).
That is to say that the end of this FPC is by FPC hole 32 shown in Figure 5, the inside of introducing first housing 1 (drain pan 5).Joint 57 is arranged on the elongated end of an end of FPC 55, and is connected to the joint 49 on the circuit board 45.By tarpaulin 56 sealing FPC holes 32, tarpaulin 56 is combined into an integral body with FPC 55.

As mentioned above and as shown in Figs. 4-6, in the present embodiment, antenna plate 43 is arranged on after the hinge member 3.
Antenna on the antenna plate 43, promptly, linear antenna unit 43b, 43c, be positioned on the antenna plate 43 away from the surface of hinge member 3 (promptly, with hinge member 3 one side facing surfaces), thereby reduced influence (more particularly, sending and constitute the electromagnetic influence of noise) from FPC 55 from FPC 55.
Linear antenna unit 43b, 43c on the antenna plate 43 are connected to the high frequency waves input/output point (distributing point) of the radio circuit parts of assembling on the circuit board 45 by antenna bonding conductor 34.
That is to say that shown in Fig. 7 A and 7B, antenna bonding conductor 34 is roughly L-shaped, antenna plate side splicing ear 34e is arranged on the back of hinge member 3, and is connected to the spring joint 43d (referring to Fig. 4 and 6) of antenna plate 43.The board side splicing ear 34c of antenna bonding conductor 34 passes through the antenna hole 33 that forms in partition wall, enter first housing 1 (drain pan 5), this partition wall is with first housing 1 (drain pan 5) of hinge member 3, containment circuit board 45 etc. separately (outer wall that also holds simultaneously, sunk part 41 as antenna).The board side splicing ear 34c of antenna bonding conductor 34 enters first housing 1, is connected to the contact spring 54 (referring to Fig. 3 and 6) that is provided with on the circuit board 45.Contact spring 54 is connected on the circuit board 45 the radio circuit parts of assembling, and works as the input/output point (distributing point of antenna) of high frequency waves.
Adopt this structure, the antenna current of the antenna bonding conductor 34 of flowing through becomes maximum near this distributing point.
In this embodiment, antenna bonding conductor 34 is configured to unipole antenna in the part near distributing point, promptly, antenna bonding conductor 34 is being provided with in the following manner near the part of distributing point: along the longitudinally of housing (vertical when communicate by letter direction) extension, and with unipole antenna work.The antenna bonding conductor 34 that is configured to unipole antenna mixes with built-in aerial.That is, linear antenna unit 43b, 43c and antenna bonding conductor 34 constitute a hybrid antenna.
Correspondingly, be configured to this part contribution that transmitted and received of unipole antenna to the perpendicular polarization component, thus the gain that has improved the perpendicular polarization component.
In the portable radio communication device such as cell phone, adopt quarter-wave aerial usually, its electrical length in communication band is 1/8th wavelength.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, the 43b of linear antenna unit on antenna bonding conductor 34 (that is, its sheet metal 34a) and the antenna plate 43 works together, and becomes quarter-wave aerial.
Correspondingly, the 43b of the unit of the linear antenna on the antenna plate 43 itself needs not to be quarter-wave.Therefore, antenna plate 43 is able to miniaturization, and can be contained in the part of hinge member 3 back, and this part can't provide enough spaces at the longitudinally of first housing 1 (drain pan 5).
So, do not need the part of giving prominence on the hinge member side part, thereby make first housing 1 be able to miniaturization.
Because being the antenna plate 43 of built-in aerial, the 43b of its linear antenna unit is able to miniaturization, so, reduced the gain of perpendicular polarization component.But the gain of perpendicular polarization component is replenished by 43b of unit of the linear antenna on the antenna plate 43 and antenna bonding conductor 34, and antenna bonding conductor 34 constitutes hybrid antenna, and is configured to unipole antenna.Therefore, the gain of perpendicular polarization component has improved.
We it is desirable for the 43b (linear antenna that is used to communicate by letter) of linear antenna unit on the antenna plate 43 and the electrical length of antenna bonding conductor 34 all should be 1/8th of communication band medium wavelength separately, but also can work well for eight/a period of time being approximately.For example, even if the electrical length of unipole antenna part in communication band less than eight of wavelength/, also can transmit and receive the perpendicular polarization component well once approximately be 1/8th.That is to say, improve the gain of perpendicular polarization component.
In the present embodiment, adopted vibrator has been arranged near the antenna bonding conductor 34 structure, as shown in Figure 3, but, the influence that vibrator 37 produces (more particularly, when vibrator 37 work and when becoming noise, the electromagnetic influence of sending from vibrator 37) be minimized, this is because antenna bonding conductor 34 is along the direction bending away from vibrator 37.
Though do not show among the figure, but, in the sheet metal 34a of antenna bonding conductor 34, with antenna plate side splicing ear 34e and board side splicing ear 34c joined portions, promptly, along the sheet metal 34a part that the longitudinally of first housing 1 (drain pan 5) extends, mould moulding as follows: be arranged on a side away from vibrator 37.Owing to adopted this structure, antenna bonding conductor 34 also can not be subjected to the influence of vibrator 37.
As shown in Figure 4, the antenna plate side splicing ear 34e of antenna bonding conductor 34 is arranged on after the hinge member 3, be provided with according to the mode that pulls to partition wall, this partition wall separates the inside of hinge member 3 and first housing 1 (drain pan 5), so can not be subjected to the influence of FPC 55.
Fig. 8 shows the improvement of antenna pattern.
As shown in the figure, antenna plate 61 is by processing linear antenna unit 61b, 61c, and linear antenna unit 61b, 61c be by carrying out machine-shaping to copper film, and extends to the outside and middle part from feed electrode 61a.
In the figure, the outside thick linear antenna 61b of unit extends from the left side around antenna plate 61, is used for communication.The middle thin linear antenna 61c of unit extends to left side bearing ground, is used for GPS. Linear antenna unit 61b, 61c are improved unipole antennas.
Though do not show among the figure, antenna plate 61 itself is with spring joint, and it reaches a relative side from feed electrode 61a.
