図1(B)に示す第2例は、上記第1例を変形し、両開き構造において第二筐体52に対して第一筐体51及び第三筐体53が回動するいわゆる逆ヒンジ構造としたものである。この第2例では、第一筐体11と第二筐体12との間に、ヒンジ部を内蔵した第三筐体13を備え、第一筐体11には第一回路基板14が設けられ、第二筐体12には第二回路基板15が設けられている。そして、第二筐体12の第三筐体13側の基端部に、図示した状態のように筐体を長手方向に開閉させるための、筐体の短手方向に沿った第一回動軸を持つ第一ヒンジ部16が設けられ、第三筐体13には、筐体を短手方向に開閉させるための、筐体の長手方向に沿った第二回動軸を持つ第二ヒンジ部17が設けられている。第一ヒンジ部16は、第二筐体12と第三筐体13とを連結しており、第二筐体12に対して前記第一回動軸を中心に第一筐体11及び第三筐体13を回動可能にするものである。第二ヒンジ部17は、導電性部材で構成され、第一筐体11と第三筐体13とを連結しており、前記第二回動軸を中心に第二筐体12及び第三筐体13に対して第一筐体11を回動可能にするものである。ここで、図1(B)の側面図において、第一ヒンジ部16は第二筐体12の長手方向延長線上に沿って配置し、第二ヒンジ部17は第一筐体11の長手方向延長線上に沿って配置している。   The second example shown in FIG. 1 (B) is a so-called reverse hinge structure in which the first case 51 and the third case 53 are rotated with respect to the second case 52 in a double-open structure by modifying the first example. It is what. In the second example, a third housing 13 having a hinge portion is provided between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and the first circuit board 14 is provided in the first housing 11. The second casing 12 is provided with a second circuit board 15. Then, the first rotation along the short side direction of the housing for opening and closing the housing in the longitudinal direction as shown in the state shown in the figure at the proximal end of the second housing 12 on the third housing 13 side A first hinge portion 16 having a shaft is provided, and a second hinge having a second rotation axis along the longitudinal direction of the housing for opening and closing the housing in the lateral direction is provided in the third housing 13. A portion 17 is provided. The first hinge portion 16 connects the second housing 12 and the third housing 13, and the first housing 11 and the third housing 16 are centered on the first rotation axis with respect to the second housing 12. The housing 13 can be rotated. The second hinge portion 17 is made of a conductive member, connects the first housing 11 and the third housing 13, and has the second housing 12 and the third housing around the second rotation shaft. The first housing 11 is rotatable with respect to the body 13. Here, in the side view of FIG. 1B, the first hinge portion 16 is disposed along the longitudinal extension line of the second housing 12, and the second hinge portion 17 is the longitudinal extension of the first housing 11. It is arranged along the line.

この場合、第三筐体13内にアンテナ素子18を実装したアンテナ基板19が設けられ、このアンテナ基板19に整合回路21が設けられる。そして、アンテナ素子18は給電部20に接続され、整合回路21とRFケーブル29を介して、第二回路基板15に搭載された無線回路22と接続されている。整合回路21のグランドは、接続部材24を介して導電性部材で構成された第二ヒンジ部17に接続され、この第二ヒンジ部17は第一筐体11内の第一回路基板14と接続されており、第二ヒンジ部17がアンテナ素子18のグランドとして機能している。また、信号の入出力等のための接続ケーブル23が第二ヒンジ部17の内部を挿通して設けられ、この接続ケーブル23によって第一回路基板14と第二回路基板15とが電気的に接続されている。接続ケーブル23は、複数の細線同軸等により構成され、第一回路基板14と第二回路基板15との間において、回路を機能させる信号線とグランドとをそれぞれ接続している。   In this case, an antenna substrate 19 on which the antenna element 18 is mounted is provided in the third housing 13, and a matching circuit 21 is provided on the antenna substrate 19. The antenna element 18 is connected to the power feeding unit 20 and is connected to the radio circuit 22 mounted on the second circuit board 15 via the matching circuit 21 and the RF cable 29. The ground of the matching circuit 21 is connected to a second hinge portion 17 made of a conductive member via a connection member 24, and the second hinge portion 17 is connected to the first circuit board 14 in the first housing 11. The second hinge portion 17 functions as the ground of the antenna element 18. Also, a connection cable 23 for signal input / output is provided through the inside of the second hinge portion 17, and the first circuit board 14 and the second circuit board 15 are electrically connected by the connection cable 23. Has been. The connection cable 23 is configured by a plurality of thin coaxial lines or the like, and connects between the first circuit board 14 and the second circuit board 15 with a signal line for functioning the circuit and the ground.

図2は、図1(B)の構成において、第二ヒンジ部を軸芯として第一筐体を筐体の短手方向に開いたときの状態を示したものである。筐体短手方向において第二ヒンジ部側の端部である第一筐体11bは第二筐体12に近接しているが、筐体短手方向において第二ヒンジ部と反対側の端部である第一筐体11aは第二筐体12から離隔される。この構造制約のため、接続ケーブル23は第一筐体11b近傍で、第一筐体11と第三筐体13を連結する第二ヒンジ部17内部を挿通する必要がある。また、第一ヒンジ部16と第二ヒンジ部17は筐体小型化のため、筐体短手方向の両端に配置される。この構造制約のため、RFケーブル29と接続ケーブル23は第一ヒンジ部16と第二ヒンジ部17の間の限定された空間に配置する必要がある。また、アンテナ素子の体積を大きくし、かつ、RFケーブルの長さを短くするほどアンテナ性能向上を見込めることと、さらに、RFケーブルの引き回しが困難であることなどの理由から、給電部20は第二ヒンジ部17及び接続ケーブル23の近傍に配置する制約が発生する。このように、給電部20は第二ヒンジ部17と接続ケーブル23のグランド近傍に配置されるため、従来の筐体ダイポールアンテナ構成とは異なる。   FIG. 2 shows a state when the first casing is opened in the lateral direction of the casing with the second hinge portion as an axis in the configuration of FIG. The first housing 11b, which is the end on the second hinge portion side in the housing short direction, is close to the second housing 12, but the end on the opposite side of the second hinge portion in the housing short direction. The first housing 11 a is separated from the second housing 12. Due to this structural limitation, the connection cable 23 needs to be inserted through the second hinge portion 17 that connects the first housing 11 and the third housing 13 in the vicinity of the first housing 11b. Moreover, the 1st hinge part 16 and the 2nd hinge part 17 are arrange | positioned at the both ends of a housing | casing transversal direction for the housing | casing size reduction. Due to this structural limitation, the RF cable 29 and the connection cable 23 need to be disposed in a limited space between the first hinge portion 16 and the second hinge portion 17. In addition, because the antenna element can be increased in volume and the length of the RF cable is shortened, the antenna performance can be expected to be improved, and the RF cable is difficult to route. The restriction | limiting which arrange | positions in the vicinity of the two hinge parts 17 and the connection cable 23 generate | occur | produces. As described above, since the power feeding unit 20 is disposed in the vicinity of the ground of the second hinge unit 17 and the connection cable 23, it is different from the conventional case dipole antenna configuration.

図3は図1に示した携帯無線装置の構成例における動作時の電流を模式的に示した図であり、図3(A)は第1例における電流の状態を、図3(B)は第2例における電流の状態をそれぞれ示したものである。ここで、矢印は電流の流れる方向を概ね表しており、互いに逆向きの場合、逆位相であることを示す。   3 is a diagram schematically showing the current during operation in the configuration example of the portable wireless device shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 (A) shows the current state in the first example, and FIG. The current states in the second example are respectively shown. Here, the arrows generally represent the direction of current flow, and when they are opposite to each other, they indicate an opposite phase.

図3(A)に示すように、第1例の構成の場合は、アンテナ素子58において電流65が流れるとともに、このアンテナ素子58が第一ヒンジ部56及び第一回路基板54と容量結合することにより、第一筐体11内の第一回路基板54において電流66が流れる。また、アンテナ素子58に接続される整合回路61のグランドから第二回路基板55のグランドへ電流67が流れる。第1例の構成では、アンテナ素子58が第二筐体52内に配置されるため、アンテナ素子58の給電部60の位置を比較的自由に設定でき、給電部60を接続ケーブル63から離して配置することが可能である。このため、アンテナ素子58は接続ケーブル63において流れる電流68の影響を受けにくく、高い放射効率を得ることができる。また、第二ヒンジ部57はアンテナ素子58と電気的、物理的に接続されていないため、第二ヒンジ部57による影響も少ない。   As shown in FIG. 3A, in the case of the configuration of the first example, a current 65 flows in the antenna element 58, and the antenna element 58 is capacitively coupled to the first hinge portion 56 and the first circuit board 54. As a result, a current 66 flows in the first circuit board 54 in the first housing 11. In addition, a current 67 flows from the ground of the matching circuit 61 connected to the antenna element 58 to the ground of the second circuit board 55. In the configuration of the first example, since the antenna element 58 is disposed in the second housing 52, the position of the power feeding unit 60 of the antenna element 58 can be set relatively freely, and the power feeding unit 60 is separated from the connection cable 63. It is possible to arrange. Therefore, the antenna element 58 is not easily affected by the current 68 flowing in the connection cable 63, and high radiation efficiency can be obtained. Further, since the second hinge portion 57 is not electrically and physically connected to the antenna element 58, the influence of the second hinge portion 57 is small.

一方、図3(B)に示すように、第2例の構成の場合は、アンテナ素子18においてエレメント電流25が流れ、このアンテナ素子18の給電部20に接続される整合回路21のグランドから接続部材24、第二ヒンジ部17を通り、第一筐体11内の第一回路基板14のグランドへ電流27が流れる。また、接続ケーブル23において第一回路基板14から第二回路基板15へ電流18が流れる。この第2例の構成では、アンテナ素子18が第三筐体13内に配置されており、図2で前述した、第一ヒンジ部16、第二ヒンジ部17、アンテナ素子18、及び給電部20の位置が限定されるという構造上の制約がある。アンテナ素子18が配置される第三筐体13が第二筐体12に対して回動するため、アンテナ素子18の給電部20は、第二ヒンジ部17から離れた位置に設定することができず、接続ケーブル23や第二ヒンジ部17の近傍に配置せざるを得ない。このため、接続ケーブル23及び第二ヒンジ部17の影響を受けやすい。また、接続ケーブル23において第一回路基板14から第二回路基板15へ流れる電流28と、第二ヒンジ部17から第一回路基板14へ流れる電流27とが逆位相となり、電流がキャンセルされるため、放射効率が低下する。また、整合回路21のグランドである第二ヒンジ部17の内部を異なるインピーダンスをもつ接続ケーブル23が挿通するので、互いの電流が影響しやすい。   On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3B, in the case of the configuration of the second example, an element current 25 flows in the antenna element 18 and is connected from the ground of the matching circuit 21 connected to the power feeding unit 20 of the antenna element 18. A current 27 flows through the member 24 and the second hinge portion 17 to the ground of the first circuit board 14 in the first housing 11. Further, a current 18 flows from the first circuit board 14 to the second circuit board 15 in the connection cable 23. In the configuration of the second example, the antenna element 18 is disposed in the third housing 13, and the first hinge portion 16, the second hinge portion 17, the antenna element 18, and the power feeding portion 20 described above with reference to FIG. 2. There is a structural restriction that the position of the is limited. Since the third housing 13 in which the antenna element 18 is disposed rotates with respect to the second housing 12, the power feeding portion 20 of the antenna element 18 can be set at a position away from the second hinge portion 17. Therefore, it must be arranged in the vicinity of the connection cable 23 and the second hinge portion 17. For this reason, the connection cable 23 and the second hinge portion 17 are easily affected. Further, in the connection cable 23, the current 28 flowing from the first circuit board 14 to the second circuit board 15 and the current 27 flowing from the second hinge part 17 to the first circuit board 14 are in opposite phases, and the current is cancelled. , Radiation efficiency decreases. In addition, since the connection cable 23 having different impedances is inserted through the second hinge portion 17 that is the ground of the matching circuit 21, mutual currents are easily affected.

そこで、本実施形態では、上記第2例のような筐体構成において特性を改善するために、以下のような構成要素を備えるものとする。図4は本発明の実施形態に係る携帯無線装置の構成を示す図である。なお、図1(B)と同様の構成要素については同一の符号を付している。   Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to improve the characteristics in the case configuration as in the second example, the following components are provided. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the configuration of the portable radio apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the component similar to FIG. 1 (B).

本実施形態では、第一筐体11と第三筐体13を回動可能に連結する第二ヒンジ部17内部の中空部分に、第一筐体11の第一回路基板14と第二筐体12の第二回路基板15との間を接続する接続ケーブル23が挿通する構成となっている。ここで、第二ヒンジ部17は第一筐体11内の第一回路基板14のグランドと接続されており、接続ケーブル23には第一回路基板14と第二回路基板15との間で伝送される信号が流れる。このように複数の筐体を連結するヒンジ部の内部に接続ケーブルが挿通している構成において、中空構造のヒンジ部の内径を接続ケーブルの径に対して十分大きくとるように構成し、ヒンジ部と接続ケーブルとの距離を所定量確保する。具体的には、ヒンジ部と接続ケーブルの導体部との間の容量値が所定値以下となるように、ヒンジ部と接続ケーブルの導体部とを互いに所定の距離以上離して配置される構成とする。これにより、第二ヒンジ部17と接続ケーブル23との電気的な結合が弱くなる。したがって、アンテナ素子18の給電部20から見た接続ケーブル23の影響を軽減でき、高いアンテナ性能を得ることが可能になる。   In the present embodiment, the first circuit board 14 and the second casing of the first casing 11 are formed in a hollow portion inside the second hinge portion 17 that rotatably connects the first casing 11 and the third casing 13. The connection cable 23 that connects the 12 second circuit boards 15 is inserted. Here, the second hinge portion 17 is connected to the ground of the first circuit board 14 in the first housing 11, and the connection cable 23 is transmitted between the first circuit board 14 and the second circuit board 15. The signal to be played flows. In this way, in the configuration in which the connection cable is inserted inside the hinge portion that couples the plurality of housings, the inner diameter of the hollow hinge portion is configured to be sufficiently larger than the diameter of the connection cable. A predetermined distance is secured between the cable and the connection cable. Specifically, the hinge part and the conductor part of the connection cable are arranged apart from each other by a predetermined distance or more so that the capacitance value between the hinge part and the conductor part of the connection cable is a predetermined value or less. To do. Thereby, the electrical coupling between the second hinge portion 17 and the connection cable 23 is weakened. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the influence of the connection cable 23 viewed from the power feeding unit 20 of the antenna element 18 and to obtain high antenna performance.

図5は本実施形態のヒンジ部の要部断面を示す図であり、ヒンジ部と接続ケーブルとの寸法関係を示している。接続ケーブル23を構成する導体A31の外径をL1、第二ヒンジ部17を構成する中空部分を有する導体B32の内径をL2とした場合、L1に対してL2が十分大きくなるように構成する。具体的には、相対的に導体B32の内径L2を大きくするか、導体A31の外径L1を小さくする。これにより、導体A31と導体B32との間の容量値を小さくし、第二ヒンジ部17と接続ケーブル23との間の電気的な結合を弱めるようにする。   FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a cross-section of the main part of the hinge part of the present embodiment, showing the dimensional relationship between the hinge part and the connection cable. When the outer diameter of the conductor A31 constituting the connection cable 23 is L1, and the inner diameter of the conductor B32 having a hollow portion constituting the second hinge portion 17 is L2, L2 is configured to be sufficiently larger than L1. Specifically, the inner diameter L2 of the conductor B32 is relatively increased, or the outer diameter L1 of the conductor A31 is decreased. Thereby, the capacitance value between the conductor A31 and the conductor B32 is reduced, and the electrical coupling between the second hinge portion 17 and the connection cable 23 is weakened.

図6はヒンジ部と接続ケーブルとの間の容量値の実施例を示す図であり、図5の導体A31と導体B32との間の容量値設計の具体例を示している。図6(A)は各例の容量値とアンテナ性能(対目標値)の関係を示すグラフであり、図6(B)は各例の寸法及び容量値を示したものである。ここで、L1は図5における導体A31の外径、L2は図5における導体B32の内径、L3は図5における導体B32の長さである。容量値Cは以下の式(1)で求められる。   FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of the capacitance value between the hinge portion and the connection cable, and shows a specific example of the capacitance value design between the conductor A31 and the conductor B32 in FIG. FIG. 6A is a graph showing the relationship between the capacitance value of each example and antenna performance (vs. target value), and FIG. 6B shows the size and capacitance value of each example. Here, L1 is the outer diameter of the conductor A31 in FIG. 5, L2 is the inner diameter of the conductor B32 in FIG. 5, and L3 is the length of the conductor B32 in FIG. The capacitance value C is obtained by the following formula (1).

C=εo*εr*(2πL2*L3)/(L2−L1)[F] …(1)
ここで、εo:真空の誘電率[F/m]
εr:比誘電率
L1,L2,L3:長さ[m]
なお、図6(B)に示した導体A〜B間の容量値はεr=1として算出している。
C = εo * εr * (2πL2 * L3) / (L2−L1) [F] (1)
Where εo: dielectric constant of vacuum [F / m]
εr: relative dielectric constant
L1, L2, L3: Length [m]
Note that the capacitance value between the conductors A and B shown in FIG. 6B is calculated as εr = 1.

図6(A)では、アンテナ性能としてL1とL2を変化させたときの800MHz帯における目標値に対するアンテナ性能を示している。導体A〜B間の容量値を小さくするほど、筐体を開いた状態でのアンテナ性能は高くなる。例<1>は、L1=1.8mm、L2=2.0mm、L3=14mmとしたもので、このときの容量値はC=7.01pFであり、送信帯において目標値に対し約6dB低い状態である。   FIG. 6A shows the antenna performance with respect to the target value in the 800 MHz band when L1 and L2 are changed as the antenna performance. The smaller the capacitance value between the conductors A and B, the higher the antenna performance with the housing open. In example <1>, L1 = 1.8 mm, L2 = 2.0 mm, and L3 = 14 mm. At this time, the capacitance value is C = 7.01 pF, which is about 6 dB lower than the target value in the transmission band. State.

そこで、導体A〜導体B間の容量値をできるだけ小さくするために、例<2>はL2を2.0mm→3.1mmとして導体B32の内径L2を大きくしたもので、このときの容量値はC=1.08pFである。また、例<3>はL1を1.8mm→0.8mmとして導体A31の外径L1を小さくしたもので、このときの容量値はC=0.55pFである。図6(A)に示すように、例<2>、<3>共にアンテナ性能を改善でき、目標値を達成できている。この場合、例<3>の方が容量値がより小さくなり、より高い効果が得られた。ここで、少なくとも例<2>の容量値より小さければ、本実施例で設定している目標値を満足でき、例<2>、<3>いずれの方法でもアンテナ性能改善の効果が得られる。   Therefore, in order to make the capacitance value between the conductor A and the conductor B as small as possible, the example <2> increases L2 from 2.0 mm to 3.1 mm and increases the inner diameter L2 of the conductor B32. C = 1.08 pF. In example <3>, the outer diameter L1 of the conductor A31 is reduced by changing L1 from 1.8 mm to 0.8 mm, and the capacitance value at this time is C = 0.55 pF. As shown in FIG. 6A, the antenna performance can be improved and the target value can be achieved in both examples <2> and <3>. In this case, the capacity value of Example <3> was smaller, and a higher effect was obtained. Here, if it is at least smaller than the capacity value of the example <2>, the target value set in the present embodiment can be satisfied, and the effect of improving the antenna performance can be obtained by any of the methods <2> and <3>.

図7は本発明の第2の実施形態に係る携帯無線装置の構成を示す図である。なお、図4と同様の構成要素については同一の符号を付している。第2の実施形態は、同軸ケーブルからなる接続ケーブルの外導体部とグランドとの間に、集中定数Lを形成するインダクタを含む所定インピーダンスを有するインピーダンス素子を設けたものである。図7の構成では、接続ケーブル23の第一筐体11側の第二ヒンジ部17出口近傍において、ケーブルの外導体部と第二ヒンジ部17のグランドとの間にインピーダンス素子35が配置されている。このように、接続ケーブルとグランドとの間に集中定数Lを挿入することによって、接続ケーブルとヒンジ部との間の容量Cと集中定数LとによってLC共振回路が構成される。なお、インピーダンス素子35は、接続ケーブル23の外導体部と第二ヒンジ部17のグランドとの間に設ける構成に限らず、接続ケーブル23の外導体部と第一回路基板14のグランドとの間に設けるような構成としても良い。   FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a configuration of a portable radio apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the component similar to FIG. In the second embodiment, an impedance element having a predetermined impedance including an inductor that forms a lumped constant L is provided between an outer conductor portion of a connection cable made of a coaxial cable and a ground. In the configuration of FIG. 7, the impedance element 35 is disposed between the outer conductor portion of the cable and the ground of the second hinge portion 17 in the vicinity of the outlet of the second hinge portion 17 on the first housing 11 side of the connection cable 23. Yes. Thus, by inserting the lumped constant L between the connection cable and the ground, the LC resonance circuit is configured by the capacitance C and the lumped constant L between the connection cable and the hinge portion. The impedance element 35 is not limited to the configuration provided between the outer conductor portion of the connection cable 23 and the ground of the second hinge portion 17, and is between the outer conductor portion of the connection cable 23 and the ground of the first circuit board 14. It is good also as a structure which is provided in.

このように接続ケーブルとグランドとの間にインピーダンス素子を設けることで、接続ケーブルとヒンジ部との間の容量が十分小さくできない場合であっても、LC共振によって所望のアンテナ性能改善効果を得ることができる。   By providing an impedance element between the connection cable and the ground in this way, even if the capacity between the connection cable and the hinge portion cannot be sufficiently reduced, a desired antenna performance improvement effect can be obtained by LC resonance. Can do.

上述したように、本実施形態によれば、第二ヒンジ部17と接続ケーブル23とが所定の距離を保つように配置し、両者間の容量が所定値以下となるようにして電気的な結合を弱めることにより、アンテナ性能を向上させることができる。特に、構造上の制約によって第二ヒンジ部17のグランドとアンテナ素子18の給電部20とが近接して配置された場合に、筐体を開いた状態でダイポール動作させた際の、ヒンジ部のグランドやアンテナ素子の給電部に対する接続ケーブルの影響を軽減でき、高いアンテナ性能を得ることができる。   As described above, according to the present embodiment, the second hinge portion 17 and the connection cable 23 are arranged so as to maintain a predetermined distance, and the electrical coupling is performed so that the capacity between the two becomes a predetermined value or less. By weakening the antenna performance, the antenna performance can be improved. In particular, when the ground of the second hinge portion 17 and the power feeding portion 20 of the antenna element 18 are arranged close to each other due to structural restrictions, the hinge portion when the dipole operation is performed with the housing opened is performed. The influence of the connection cable on the ground and the feeding portion of the antenna element can be reduced, and high antenna performance can be obtained.

なお、本発明は上記の実施形態において示されたものに限定されるものではなく、明細書の記載、並びに周知の技術に基づいて、当業者が変更、応用することも本発明の予定するところであり、保護を求める範囲に含まれる。   It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to those shown in the above-described embodiments, and those skilled in the art can also make changes and applications based on the description in the specification and well-known techniques. Yes, included in the scope of protection.

上述した実施形態では、第一ヒンジ部と第二ヒンジ部の2つのヒンジ部を有し、第一筐体と第二筐体との間に第三筐体を備える構成について説明したが、これに限定されるものではなく、少なくとも1つのヒンジ部を備えた構成において同様に適用可能である。例えば、2つの筐体を有し、これら2つの筐体を接続するヒンジ部内に接続ケーブルが挿通している構造においても、本実施形態の構成を適用することで同様な効果が得られる。また、2つのヒンジ部を有する両開き構造において、図1(A)に示した一般的なヒンジ構造と図1(B)に示した逆ヒンジ構造のいずれにも適用可能である。   In the above-described embodiment, the configuration in which the first hinge portion and the second hinge portion are provided and the third housing is provided between the first housing and the second housing has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be similarly applied to a configuration including at least one hinge portion. For example, a similar effect can be obtained by applying the configuration of this embodiment even in a structure in which two housings are provided and a connection cable is inserted through a hinge portion that connects these two housings. In addition, the double-open structure having two hinge portions can be applied to both the general hinge structure shown in FIG. 1 (A) and the reverse hinge structure shown in FIG. 1 (B).

本発明は、導電性のヒンジ部内部に筐体間を接続する接続ケーブルが挿通する構成とした場合に、アンテナ性能を改善することが可能となる効果を有し、折り畳み可能な筐体内にアンテナを搭載した携帯無線装置等として有用である。   The present invention has an effect that the antenna performance can be improved when the connection cable for connecting between the casings is inserted into the inside of the conductive hinge portion, and the antenna is installed in the foldable casing. It is useful as a portable wireless device equipped with
