Abstract

A dipole antenna (12) is composed of a meandering antenna element, which extends perpendicularly to the upper (horizontal) surface of a wireless communication terminal. The signal received at the dipole antenna (12) is sent to a transmitting and receiving circuit through a balanced-to-unbalanced transformer (13). The balanced-to-unbalanced transformer (13) minimizes the current flowing to a ground plane (11), thus preventing the ground plane (11) from acting as an antenna.

Description

Built-in for wireless communication terminals

Technical field

The present invention relates to an antenna used for a wireless device, a portable terminal, and the like. Light

Background art

In recent years, miniaturization of wireless communication terminals has been promoted in order to improve portability. Along with this, miniaturization of the built-in antenna used for wireless communication terminals is also required.

Have been. As a conventional built-in antenna to meet this demand, a plate-shaped inverted-F antenna is used. Hereinafter, a built-in antenna used in a conventional wireless communication terminal will be described.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a built-in antenna used in a conventional wireless communication terminal. Although each element shown in the figure is mounted in the housing of the wireless communication terminal, the overall view of the wireless communication terminal is omitted for simplicity of description. As shown in FIG. 1, a conventional wireless communication terminal generally includes a ground plane 1 and a plate-shaped inverted-F antenna 2. Note that X, Y and Z indicate respective target axes.

Further, the above-mentioned conventional built-in antenna is also used as a diversity antenna for coping with fluctuations in received electric field strength due to multipath of radio waves. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a diversity antenna used in a conventional wireless communication terminal. As shown in FIG. 2, the conventional wireless communication terminal has a configuration in which a monopole antenna 3 is provided as an external antenna in addition to the above-described plate-shaped inverted-F antenna 2. Diversity reception is performed by two antennas, the planar inverted F-shaped antenna 2 as an internal antenna and the monopole antenna 3 as an external antenna, and stable communication can be realized. However, the planar inverted-F antenna used in the conventional wireless communication device operates as an exciter that excites the ground plane 1 rather than the planar inverted-F antenna 2 itself operating as an antenna. Therefore, an antenna current flows through the ground plane 1, and the ground plane becomes dominant as an antenna. As a result, there is a problem that the gain of the planar inverted-F antenna 2 used in the conventional wireless communication terminal is reduced due to the influence of the human body of the user of the wireless communication terminal.

Here, a specific example of the reception characteristics of the planar inverted-F antenna 2 used in the conventional wireless communication terminal will be described with reference to FIGS. 3A and 3B. 3A and 3B are graphs showing measured values of the reception characteristics of a planar inverted-F antenna used in a conventional wireless communication device. The size of the ground plane 1 is 120 x 36 mm and the frequency is 218 MHz.

First, FIG. 3A is a diagram showing the reception characteristics of a planar inverted-F antenna 2 used in a conventional wireless communication terminal on a horizontal plane (XY plane) in free space. As shown in FIG. 3A, since the ground plane 1 operates as an antenna, the planar inverted-F antenna 2 is almost omnidirectional.

On the other hand, FIG. 3B is a diagram illustrating reception characteristics of a horizontal plane (X-Y plane) of a planar inverted-F antenna 2 used in a conventional wireless communication terminal during a call. Here, it is assumed that the wireless communication terminal is used in a state as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the wireless communication terminal 4 provided with the plate-shaped inverted-F antenna 2 and the monopole antenna 3 is used for a call by the user 5.

As is clear from FIG. 3B, the gain of the planar inverted-F antenna 2 is reduced during a call. Comparing Fig. 3A and Fig. 3B, the decrease in the gain of the plate-shaped inverted-F antenna 2 is due to the effect of the human body, for example, the effect of the radio wave being cut off by the user's head or hand. It is clear that

Next, a specific example of the radiation characteristics of the planar inverted-F antenna 2 used in the above-described conventional wireless communication terminal will be described with reference to FIGS. 4A and 4B. Figures 4A and 4B show the radiation characteristics of a plate-shaped inverted F antenna used in a conventional wireless communication device. It is a figure which shows the measured value of sex.

FIG. 4A is a diagram showing the radiation characteristics of a horizontal plane (X-Y plane) in free space of a plate-shaped inverted-F antenna 2 used for a conventional wireless communication terminal. As shown in FIG. 4A, since the ground plane 1 operates as an antenna, the planar inverted-F antenna 2 is almost omnidirectional.

On the other hand, FIG. 4B is a diagram illustrating radiation characteristics in a horizontal plane (XY plane) of the planar inverted-F antenna 2 used in the conventional wireless communication terminal during a call. Here, it is assumed that the wireless communication terminal is used in a state as shown in FIG. As is clear from FIG. 4B, the gain of the planar inverted-F antenna 2 decreases during a call. The lowering of the gain of the planar inverted F-shaped antenna 2 is due to the effect of the human body, for example, the effect of blocking the radio wave by the user's head or hand, comparing FIGS. 4A and 4B. It is clear that

As described above, the plate-shaped inverted-F antenna 2 used in the conventional wireless communication terminal has a problem that the gain is reduced due to the influence of the human body. Further, with respect to the diversity antenna used in the above-described conventional wireless communication terminal, when the plate-shaped inverted-F antenna 2 operates, there is a problem that the gain is reduced due to the influence of the human body.

Hereinafter, the best mode of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. You.

(Embodiment 1)

FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Each element shown in the figure is mounted in the housing of the wireless communication terminal. The overall diagram of the wireless communication terminal is omitted for the sake of simplicity. The built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to the present embodiment includes a ground plane 11, a dipole antenna 12, a balanced-unbalanced conversion circuit 13, and a power supply end 14. Hereinafter, each component will be described. The ground plane 11 is a plate-like ground conductor, and is attached so as to be substantially parallel to a surface (vertical surface) of the wireless communication terminal on which an operation button (not shown), a display, a speaker, and the like are provided.

The dipole antenna 12 is composed of two antenna elements formed in a rectangular wave shape (comb blade shape). As a result, the dipole antenna is reduced in size. The two antenna elements constituting the dipole antenna 12 are arranged such that their longitudinal directions are substantially straight.

The dipole antenna 12 is mounted so that the longitudinal direction of the antenna element is substantially perpendicular to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication terminal. As a result, the dipole antenna 12 is provided so that the longitudinal direction of the antenna element is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane. As a result, the dipole antenna 12 receives mainly vertically polarized waves parallel to the longitudinal direction in free space. Further, in a call state, the human body operates as a reflector, so that the dipole antenna 12 has directivity in a direction opposite to the human body direction.

The balance-unbalance conversion circuit 13 is a conversion circuit having an impedance conversion ratio of 1 to 1 or n to 1 (n is an integer), and is attached to the feed end 14 of the dipole antenna 12. One terminal of the balance-unbalance conversion circuit 13 is connected to a transmission / reception circuit (not shown), and the other terminal is attached to the ground plane 11. As a result, the balance-unbalance conversion circuit 13 becomes a dipole antenna 1 2 Since impedance conversion is performed between the transmitting and receiving circuit and the transmitting and receiving circuit, impedance matching between the two can be properly performed. Furthermore, since the unbalanced conversion circuit 13 converts the unbalanced signal of the transmission / reception circuit into a balanced signal and supplies the balanced signal to the dipole antenna 12, the current flowing through the ground plane 11 can be minimized. This prevents the ground plate 11 from acting as an antenna, so that a decrease in the gain of the dipole antenna 12 due to the influence of the human body can be suppressed. Next, the operation of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal having the above configuration will be described. The unbalanced signal from the transmission / reception circuit is converted to a balanced signal by the balanced / unbalanced conversion circuit 13 and then sent to the dipole antenna 12. The dipole antenna 12 fed in this way mainly transmits vertically polarized waves parallel to this longitudinal direction. Upon reception, a vertically polarized wave parallel to the longitudinal direction is received. Therefore, in free space, vertically polarized waves are received from all directions centering on the dipole antenna. In a call state, the human body becomes a reflector as described above. Vertically polarized waves from the direction opposite to the human body are mainly received.

The above signal (balanced signal) received by the dipole antenna 12 is sent to the transmission / reception circuit via the balance-unbalance conversion circuit 13. Since the current flowing through the ground plane 11 is suppressed as much as possible by the unbalanced conversion circuit 13, the antenna operation by the ground plane 11 is prevented. As a result, the decrease in gain due to the influence of the human body is minimized.

Here, the reception characteristics of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing measured values of reception characteristics of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication device according to the present embodiment in a call state. In addition, the size of the ground plane 11 is 120 × 36 mm, the size of the dipole antenna 12 is 63 × 5 mm, the distance of the dipole antenna 12 from the human body surface is 5 mm, and the frequency is 2 18 0 MHz. In addition, in FIG. 8, the direction of 270 degrees as viewed from the origin corresponds to the direction of the human body as viewed from the dipole antenna 12 in FIG. As is clear from FIG. 8, the dipole antenna 12 has directivity in a direction opposite to the direction of the human body due to the influence of the human body acting as a reflector. In addition, the directivity is prevented from being cracked for the above-described reason, and has a high gain characteristic in which the deterioration of the gain is suppressed as compared with the conventional example shown in FIG. 3B.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, by appropriately adjusting the impedance in the balanced-unbalanced conversion circuit 13, the antenna current flowing through the ground plane 11 can be suppressed as much as possible. Caused by dipole antenna

The gain deterioration of 12 can be suppressed. Further, since the dipole antenna 12 is formed by a rectangular wave-shaped antenna element, the size of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to provide a high-gain and small built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal which is less affected by the human body.

(Embodiment 2)

Embodiment 2 is an embodiment in which the method of mounting dipole antenna 12 in Embodiment 1 is changed. The second embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the method of attaching the dipole antenna 12, and thus a detailed description is omitted. Hereinafter, differences of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to the present embodiment from Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The same parts as in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.

FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram illustrating a configuration of a built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to the second embodiment. As shown in this figure, the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to the second embodiment includes a ground plane 11, a dipole antenna 12, a balanced-unbalanced conversion circuit 13, and a power supply end 14. It is composed.

The dipole antenna 12 is mounted such that the longitudinal direction of the antenna element is substantially parallel to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication terminal. That is, the present embodiment is different from Embodiment 1 in that dipole antenna 12 is mounted such that the longitudinal direction of dipole antenna 12 is substantially parallel to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication terminal. As a result, the dipole antenna 12 can suppress the deterioration of the gain and can receive mainly horizontally polarized waves parallel to the longitudinal direction. At this point, the signal sent from the communication partner is a mixture of vertical and horizontal polarizations due to various factors such as reflection. Therefore, when there are many horizontal polarizations, the longitudinal direction of the antenna coincides with the plane of polarization, so that the reception gain can be increased.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, dipole antenna 12 is mounted such that the longer direction is substantially parallel to the upper surface of the wireless communication terminal, so that gain deterioration due to the influence of the human body is suppressed. And can receive mainly horizontally polarized waves. Therefore, it is possible to prevent gain deterioration due to mismatch of the polarization plane with the signal from the communication partner, and to provide a high-gain and small built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal which is less affected by the human body. it can.

(Embodiment 3)

Embodiment 3 is an embodiment in which the configuration and mounting method of dipole antenna 12 in Embodiment 1 are changed. The third embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the configuration and the mounting method of the dipole antenna, and thus a detailed description is omitted. Hereinafter, differences of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to the present embodiment from Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.

FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to Embodiment 3. As shown in this figure, the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to the third embodiment includes a ground plane 11, a dipole antenna 41, a balanced-unbalanced conversion circuit 13, and a power supply terminal 14. It is composed. The two antenna elements constituting the dipole antenna 41 are arranged such that their longitudinal directions are substantially perpendicular to each other.

In the dipole antenna 41, the longitudinal direction of one antenna element is The antenna is mounted so that it is substantially perpendicular to the top surface (horizontal plane) of the end and the longitudinal direction of the other antenna element is substantially parallel to the top plane (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication terminal.

Next, the operation of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal having the above configuration will be described. The unbalanced signal from the transmission / reception circuit is converted to a balanced signal by the balanced / unbalanced conversion circuit 13 and then sent to the dipole antenna 41. The antenna element arranged substantially perpendicular to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication terminal constituting the dipole antenna 41 thus fed mainly transmits vertically polarized waves parallel to the longitudinal direction of the antenna element. Is done. At the time of reception, a vertically polarized wave parallel to the longitudinal direction is received. On the other hand, the antenna element arranged substantially in parallel to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication terminal constituting the dipole antenna 41 similarly supplied with power causes mainly horizontal polarization parallel to the longitudinal direction of the antenna element. Sent. At the time of reception, horizontal polarization parallel to the longitudinal direction is received. In free space, vertical and horizontal polarized waves are received from all directions around the dipole antenna. In a talking state, the human body serves as a reflector as described above, and therefore, of the vertical polarization and the horizontal polarization, waves mainly from the opposite direction to the human body are received.

As a result, the dipole antenna 12 can suppress the deterioration of the gain and can receive both vertically polarized waves and horizontally polarized waves parallel to the longitudinal direction. By the way, the signal sent from the communication partner is a mixture of vertical polarization and horizontal polarization due to various factors such as reflection. Therefore, regardless of whether the vertical polarization or the horizontal polarization is large, the built-in antenna for the wireless communication terminal according to the present embodiment matches the polarization plane of the signal transmitted from the communication partner, and thus the reception gain Can be higher.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the antenna current flowing through the ground plane 11 can be minimized by the balance-unbalance conversion circuit 13, the gain caused by the influence of the human body of the dipole antenna 41 is obtained. Deterioration can be suppressed. Furthermore, since the dipole antenna 41 is constituted by a rectangular wave-shaped antenna element, The built-in antenna for the wireless communication terminal can be reduced in size. Therefore, it is possible to provide a small, high-gain built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal that is less affected by the human body.

(Embodiment 4)

Embodiment 4 is an embodiment in which the shape and mounting method of the antenna element forming the dipole antenna 12 in Embodiment 1 are changed. The fourth embodiment is the same as the first embodiment except for the shape of the antenna element and the mounting method of the dipole antenna, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, differences of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to the present embodiment from Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description is omitted.

FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to Embodiment 4. As shown in this figure, the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to Embodiment 4 includes a ground plane 11, a dipole antenna 51, a balanced-unbalanced conversion circuit 13, and a feeding end 14. It is configured to have. The antenna elements constituting the dipole antenna 51 are bent near the center, and are formed such that the bent surfaces are substantially perpendicular to each other. In this case, the surface having the feeding end 14 among the surfaces perpendicular to each other of the antenna elements is referred to as a first rectangular wavefront, and the surface having no feeding end 14 is referred to as a second rectangular wavefront. That.

The antenna element constituting the dipole antenna 51 having the above configuration is mounted such that the longitudinal direction of the first rectangular wavefront is substantially parallel to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication device.

Therefore, it is possible to provide a high-gain and small built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal which is less affected by the human body. Furthermore, since vertically polarized waves are mainly received by rectangular antenna elements and horizontal polarized waves are mainly received by rod-shaped antenna elements, the polarization ratio between vertical and horizontal polarization can be changed appropriately. As a result, it is possible to receive signals with a polarization ratio according to the intended use of the antenna.

The two antenna elements constituting the dipole antenna 501 are arranged such that their respective axial directions are substantially straight. Further, dipole antenna 501 is mounted such that the axial direction of the antenna element is substantially perpendicular to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication terminal. Since the wireless communication terminal is considered to be used in the state shown in Fig. 58, the dipole antenna 501 is provided so that the axis direction of the antenna element is substantially perpendicular to the horizontal plane during a call. It will be. Thereby, dipole antenna 501 receives mainly vertically polarized waves parallel to the axial direction in free space. Furthermore, since the human body operates as a reflector during a call, the dipole antenna 501 has a directivity in a direction opposite to the human body direction.

The parasitic element 502 is formed in a rod shape. The parasitic element 502 is substantially parallel to the axial direction of the antenna element constituting the dipole antenna 501, and includes the antenna element constituting the dipole antenna 501 and the parasitic element 502. The plane (reference plane) to be formed is arranged so as to be substantially perpendicular to the plane formed by the ground plane 11. Since the base plate 11 is provided substantially parallel to the main surface of the housing 5 10, the reference plane is also substantially orthogonal to the main surface of the housing 5 10. FIG. 57 is a cross-sectional view of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to the present embodiment, as viewed from the direction of arrow A in FIG. 55. As is apparent from this figure, the parasitic element 502 has a ground plane (reference plane) formed by including the antenna element constituting the dipole antenna 501 and the parasitic element 502. It is arranged so as to be substantially perpendicular to the surface formed by 1. With this arrangement, the surface formed by the antenna element and the parasitic element 502 forming the dipole antenna 501 is substantially the same as the main surface of the housing 501 shown in FIG. Orthogonal.

Next, the operation of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal having the above configuration will be described. The unbalanced signal from the transmitting / receiving circuit is flattened by the balanced / unbalanced conversion circuit 13. After being converted to a balanced signal, it is sent to the dipole antenna 501. The dipole antenna 501 fed in this way mainly transmits vertically polarized waves parallel to the axial direction.

The transmission wave transmitted from the dipole antenna 501 is based on the length of the dipole antenna 501, the length of the parasitic element 502, and the distance between the dipole antenna 501 and the parasitic element 502. By changing it appropriately, it has directivity in a direction along the reference plane and perpendicular to the main surface of the housing 510. The wireless communication terminal is considered to be used in a state as shown in FIG. In this case, since the main surface of the housing 5101 faces the temporal region of the user, the transmission wave is the length of the diball antenna 501, the length of the parasitic element 502, and the dipole antenna.

This minimizes the decrease in gain due to the effects of the human body.

Thus, according to the present embodiment, the length of dipole antenna 501, the length of parasitic element 502, and the distance between diball antenna 501 and parasitic element 502 are By properly adjusting the dipole antenna 501 Since it has directivity in the opposite direction to the body, it is possible to suppress gain deterioration due to the influence of the human body.

(Embodiment 60)

FIG. 71 is a schematic diagram showing a configuration of a built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to Embodiment 60 of the present invention. Although the elements shown in the figure are mounted in the housing of the wireless communication terminal, the overall view of the wireless communication terminal is omitted for simplicity. The built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal according to the present embodiment includes a ground plane 11, a loop antenna 601, and a balanced-unbalanced conversion circuit 13. Note that X, Y and Z indicate respective coordinate axes. Hereinafter, each component will be described.

The ground plane 11 is a plate-like ground conductor, and is attached so as to be substantially parallel to a surface (vertical surface) of the wireless communication terminal on which an operation button (not shown), a display, a speaker, and the like are provided.

The loop antenna 6001 is arranged such that the loop surface is substantially perpendicular to the surface on which the display, the speaker and the like are provided, and that the loop surface is substantially parallel to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication terminal. Attached to. As a result, the loop antenna 600 is provided so that the loop surface is substantially perpendicular to the human body during a call. As a result, the intensities of the virtual and actual magnetic fields on the loop surface are in phase, and the loop antenna 61 The profit will be enhanced.

The loop antenna 600 is attached so that the loop surface is substantially parallel to the upper surface (horizontal plane) of the wireless communication terminal. As a result, the loop antenna 600 is provided so that the loop surface is substantially parallel to the horizontal plane. As a result, the loop antenna 600 receives mainly horizontally polarized waves parallel to the loop surface in free space. Furthermore, since the human body operates as a reflector in a call state, the loop antenna 61 has directivity in the direction opposite to the human body direction, that is, directivity in the front direction on the paper of FIG. . Further, the loop antenna 600 is provided such that its circumference is substantially equal to or less than one wavelength of the received wave. By the way, in the case of a loop antenna, if the perimeter is set to be longer than one wavelength of the received wave, the directivity is broken due to the inversion of the phase of the current flowing through the loop antenna. Therefore, loop antenna 6001 according to the present embodiment is provided so that the circumference is substantially equal to or less than one wavelength of the received wave, so that directivity is prevented from being broken.

The balance-unbalance conversion circuit 13 is a conversion circuit having an impedance conversion ratio of 1 to 1 or n to 1 (n is an integer), and is attached to the feeding end of the loop antenna. More specifically, one terminal of the balance-unbalance conversion circuit 13 is connected to a transmitting / receiving circuit (not shown), and the other terminal is attached to the ground plane 11. Thus, since the balance-unbalance conversion circuit 13 performs impedance conversion between the loop antenna 61 and the transmission circuit, impedance matching between the two can be properly performed. Furthermore, since the unbalanced conversion circuit 13 converts the unbalanced signal of the transmission circuit into a balanced signal and supplies the balanced signal to the loop antenna 601, the current flowing through the ground plane 11 can be minimized. This prevents the ground plate 11 from acting as an antenna, so that a decrease in the gain of the loop antenna 61 due to the influence of the human body can be suppressed.

Next, the operation of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal having the above configuration will be described. The unbalanced signal from the transmission circuit is converted to a balanced signal by the balanced-unbalanced conversion circuit 13 and then sent to the loop antenna 61. The loop antenna 60 1 fed in this way mainly receives horizontal polarized waves parallel to the loop plane. In free space, horizontal polarized waves are received from all directions with the loop antenna as the center. In a talking state, the human body acts as a reflector as described above. Horizontally polarized waves from the direction opposite to the human body are mainly received.

The above signal (balanced signal) received by the loop antenna 6001 is sent to the transmission circuit via the balanced-unbalanced conversion circuit 13. Here, the current flowing through the ground plane 11 is suppressed as much as possible by the above-described balanced-unbalanced conversion circuit 13, so that the antenna operation by the ground plane 11 is prevented. This minimizes the decrease in gain due to the effects of the human body.

Here, regarding the reception characteristics of the built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal having the above configuration, FIG.

This will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 72 is a diagram showing measured values of reception characteristics of the built-in antenna for the wireless communication apparatus according to Embodiment 60 in a call state. In addition, the size of the ground plane 11 is 120 x 36 mm, the size of the loop antenna 61 is 63 x 5 mm, the distance of the loop antenna 61 from the human body is 5 mm, and the frequency is It shall be 2 180 MHz. Also, in FIG. 72, the direction of 270 degrees as viewed from the origin corresponds to the direction of the human body as viewed from the loop antenna 601 in FIG. As is clear from FIG. 72, the loop antenna 61 has directivity in the direction opposite to the direction of the human body due to the influence of the human body acting as a reflector, and the reason described above. In addition to preventing directivity cracking, it has high gain characteristics with reduced gain degradation compared to the conventional example shown in Fig. 3B.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the loop surface of loop antenna 601 is provided so as to be substantially perpendicular to the human body, so that the gain of loop antenna 601 can be increased. The perimeter of antenna 6 周囲 1 is approximately one wavelength or less By being provided below, the directivity of the loop antenna 601 is prevented from being broken, and the antenna current flowing to the ground plane 11 is minimized by the balance-unbalance conversion circuit 13. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the gain deterioration due to the influence of the human body of the loop antenna 601. Therefore, it is possible to provide a high-gain built-in antenna for a wireless communication terminal with less influence on the human body.
