Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
According to various example embodiments, a wearable electronic device is provided, the wearable electronic device including a metal housing used as an antenna radiator and electrically connected to a communication circuit, at least one metal strap coupled to at least one region of the metal housing, and a non-conductive member comprising a non-conductive material disposed between the metal strap and the metal housing, wherein the non-conductive member electrically insulates the metal strap and the metal housing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A wearable electronic device comprising: a metal housing configured to be used as an antenna radiator and being electrically connected to a communication circuit inside the metal housing, and comprising at least one strap joining portion; at least one metal strap comprising a coupling member joined to the at least one strap joining portion; a non-conductive member comprising a non-conductive material disposed on a contact surface of the coupling member which is in contact with the at least one strap joining portion; a conductive protrusion disposed to be exposed through the non-conductive member and extending from the coupling member; a port insulated from the metal housing and exposed to a position of the metal housing corresponding to the conductive protrusion of the coupling member; and an electrical connecting member configured to electrically connect the port and a ground of a substrate disposed inside the metal housing, wherein the metal strap is electrically insulated from the metal housing by the non-conductive member and is grounded to the substrate through the conductive protrusion and the port.
