Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A radio communication apparatus ( 100 ) includes an antenna device ( 40 ) that faces at least a part of a conductor plate of a conductor surface (second casing) or a conductor layer of an interconnect substrate ( 30 ); and a plurality of conductor components ( 36 ) that are located between the antenna device ( 40 ) and the conductor surface and are arranged in a repetitive manner so as to intersect in a surface-normal direction of the conductor surface. The radio communication apparatus is, for example, a slide opening and closing type cellular phone and includes a first casing ( 10 ), a second casing ( 20 ), and a flexible interconnect substrate ( 30 ). The first casing ( 10 ) and the second casing ( 20 ) are slid relatively so that the radio communication apparatus ( 100 ) is switched between first and second states. In the first state, the interconnect substrate ( 30 ) is folded. The interconnect substrate ( 30 ) is extended further in the second state than in the first state.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A radio communication apparatus, comprising: a first casing accommodating an antenna device; a second casing accommodating a flexible substrate which electrically connects components of the first casing to components of the second casing; the first and second casings being slidably coupled to one another between first and second positions, the flexible substrate overlapping itself by different amounts when the cases are in the first and second posi…
