Abstract
According to one embodiment, an antenna unit provided on the inner surface of the upper peripheral portion of the display housing of a notebook PC includes a projection that positions a power feeder connected to an electronic component adjacent to the antenna unit such that the power feeder extends at a constant distance from the core member of the antenna unit. The projection projects from the core member at a position at which it does not interfere with an antenna wire, and includes a recess that receives the power feeder.
Claims19
An electronic device comprising:
- a rectangular flat display housing;
- a main unit coupled to a lower end of the display housing via hinges;
- at least one electronic component provided inside an upper peripheral portion of the display housing;
- an antenna unit provided inside the upper peripheral portion closer to a corner of the display housing than the at least one electronic component, the antenna unit being separate from the at least one component;
- and
- a cable electrically coupling the at least one electronic component to the main unit, the cable extending through the hinges and along a peripheral portion of the display housing adjacent to the antenna unit;
- wherein the antenna unit comprises a non-conductive positioning structure positioning the cable for the at least one electronic component such that the cable extends at a constant distance from the antenna unit.
An electronic device comprising:
- a rectangular flat display housing;
- an electronic component provided inside an upper peripheral portion of the display housing;
- an antenna unit provided inside the upper peripheral portion closer to a corner of the display housing than the at least one electronic component, the antenna unit being separate from the electronic component;
- and
- a cable electrically coupled to the electronic component and physically separated from the antenna unit, the cable extending near the antenna unit along a peripheral portion of the display housing;
- and
- wherein the antenna unit comprises a non-conductive positioning structure positioning the cable for the electronic component such that the cable extends at a constant distance from the antenna unit.
An electronic device comprising:
- a main unit including an integrated circuit;
- a display housing rotationally coupled to the main unit, the display housing including a plurality of peripheral portions surrounding a display panel, the plurality of peripheral portions comprise an upper peripheral portion and at least one side peripheral portion;
- an electronic component situated inside the upper peripheral portion of the display housing;
- a cable electrically coupling the electronic component to the integrated circuit;
- and
- an antenna unit provided inside the upper peripheral portion without electrical connectivity with the cable, the antenna unit comprises a non-conductive positioning structure positioning the cable for the electronic component such that the cable extends at a constant distance from the antenna unit.
