Abstract

Provided are an antenna for a communication terminal, and a method of manufacturing the same, the antenna including: a communication terminal case; and a radiator layer formed of a metal material in an inner curved surface part of the communication terminal case.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An antenna for a communication terminal, comprising:
a communication terminal case;
a radiator layer provided on a curved portion of an inner curved surface of the communication terminal case and formed in an antenna pattern using a metal material;
a first adhesive material layer that provided between the curved portion of the inner curved surface of the communication terminal case and the radiator layer;
a magnetic layer including magnetic powder and binder resin, the binder resin containing an additive agent mixed in the binder resin in an amount of less than 2% based on a total weight of the binder resin and the additive agent, wherein the additive agent is any one of a silane coupling agent, a defoaming agent, or a cross-linking agent; and
a second adhesive material layer provided between the magnetic layer and the radiator layer, wherein the second adhesive material layer is provided along an upper surface of the radiator layer, a side surface of the radiator layer and a side surface of the first adhesive material layer so as to surround the radiator layer and the first adhesive layer,
wherein the magnetic layer is provided along an upper surface of the second material adhesive layer,
wherein both ends of the magnetic layer and both ends of the second adhesive layer directly contact the inner curved surface of the communication terminal case,
wherein both ends of the magnetic layer and both ends of the second adhesive layer have a stepped portion,
wherein the first adhesive material layer contains a hot melt adhesive material and a heat block of 40 to 80° C. is applied to the radiator layer, and a thermoelement is applied to the communication terminal case corresponding to a bottom surface of the radiator layer, and
wherein the second adhesive material layer contains a hot melt adhesive material and a heat block of 40 to 80° C. is applied to the magnetic layer, and the thermoelement is applied to the communication terminal case corresponding to a bottom surface of the magnetic layer.

2. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the first adhesive layer and one end of the second adhesive layer come into contact with each other.

3. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the radiator layer and the magnetic layer are configured not to come into contact with each other.

4. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic powder is one element or an alloy of a combination of two or more elements selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Al, Zn, Cu, Ba, Ti, Sn, Sr, P, B, N, C, W, Cr, Bi, Li, Y and Cd.

5. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic powder is one element or ferrite powder of a combination of two or more elements selected from the group consisting of Fe, Ni, Co, Mn, Al, Zn, Cu, Ba, Ti, Sn, Sr, P, B, N, C, W, Cr, Bi, Li, Y and Cd.

6. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the binder resin is one resin or a mixture of two or more resins selected from the group consisting of a polyvinyl alcohol based-resin, a silicon-based resin, an epoxy-based resin, an acrylate-based resin, an urethane-based resin, a polyamide-based resin and a polyimide-based resin.

7. The antenna according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic layer and second adhesive layer cover both ends of the radiator layer while contacting the inner curved surface of the communication terminal case.
