Abstract
A mobile terminal including a first frame; a second frame which slides with respect to the first frame; a first horn antenna which is disposed in the first frame; and a second horn antenna which is disposed in the second frame and wirelessly communicates with the first horn antenna. The mobile terminal can omit a physical signal line for transmitting a signal between an electronic component mounted to the first frame and an electronic component mounted to the second frame, and thus can prevent the breakage of the signal line according to sliding movements.
Claims14
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a first frame;
- a second frame configured to switch to an extended mode by sliding in a first direction with respect to the first frame or to switch to a basic mode by sliding in a second direction opposite to the first direction;
- a main board mounted on the second frame;
- a first electronic component mounted on the first frame;
- a first antenna fixed to a rear surface of the first frame and oriented in the first direction;
- an auxiliary board configured to connect to the first electronic component and the first antenna;
- and
- a second antenna located on the main board and oriented in the second direction to face the first antenna, wherein the second antenna is in wireless communication with the first antenna;
- and
- an antenna cover located on the rear surface of the first frame and covering the first antenna and a gap between the first antenna and the second antenna to form a shielding passage between the first antenna and the second antenna.
