Mobile Phone Patent Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related to a hidden antenna device of
a mobile phone, and especially to an antenna device of which the
antenna is directly provided in the interior of the mobile phone
to thereby save the out- extending portion of the antenna.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A mobile phone is a communication instrument carriable on one's
person, it is not connected with a conductor normally, and is powered
by batteries. Thereby it must transmit and receive signals by aiding
of an antenna.
Conventional mobile phones available now are divided into a fixed
and a stretchable type no matter they are of the kind with single
frequency or two frequencies. The fixed type directly has its antenna
rod with an internal inductive coil fixed on the top of the body
of the phone. While the stretchable type normally has the antenna
separated into multiple sections to be pull to stretch out when
in use and to be pushed to contract back into the body of the phone
when not in use. Whichever the style of structure of the antenna
is used, a predetermined length of it is protruded from the top
of the body of the phone, this not only is inconvenient for carrying,
but also makes its mobile phone difficult to be miniaturized.
Mobile phones have been being gradually popularized in the recent
years, there have been quite a lot of improvements in design of
mobile phones, some gave improvements in the structure of the antennae
of mobile phones, some in the structure of the connector of the
antennae of mobile phones, most of them are related to improved
structure of the accessories for transmitting or receiving signals
or related accessories of antennae for assembling the antennae,
the defect stated above of an antenna in protruding from the top
of the body of a mobile phone has not yet been gotten rid of.
And more, the antennae available presently generally shall suit
900 MHZ and 1800 MHZ, however, under the tendency that mobile phones
get more and more miniaturized, it is generally not ideal to use
an antenna for the low frequency 900 MHZ.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The object of the present invention is to provide a hidden antenna
device of a mobile phone, the antenna is provided in the body of
the phone, there is no any exposed member of the antenna to the
exterior of the phone. This is most suitable for carrying and for
being miniaturized of the mobile phone.
To obtain this object, the present invention is directly provided
in the bottom surface of the rear housing (where the electric circuit
board is) of the main body of the mobile phone with a printed electric
circuit for the antenna. The printed electric circuit for the antenna
electrically connected with the connecting points on the electric
circuit board on the main body through the essential interlayers
of air, ceramics and a matching electric circuit board to form a
hidden antenna device of a mobile phone without any exposed member
of the antenna.
The electric circuit for the antenna in the bottom surface of the
rear housing stated above can be a low frequency (900 MHZ) electric
circuit for transmitting and receiving signals. While the matching
electric circuit board can be a high frequency (1800 MHZ) electric
circuit for the antenna matchable with the low frequency (900 MHZ)
electric circuit, and is provided with a plurality of connecting
points to connect respectively with the electric circuit board of
the main body and the printed electric circuit for the antenna in
the bottom surface of the rear housing. The low frequency electric
circuit for the antenna in the bottom surface of the rear housing
owns a larger distributing area; thereby it has superior signal
transmitting and receiving function.
The present invention will be apparent in its novelty and other
characteristics after reading the detailed description of the preferred
embodiment thereof in reference to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to FIG. 1 which shows the rear side of a mobile phone
using a fixed antenna 10, the main body thereof is comprised mainly
of an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12. The lower cover 12 is
provided on the rear surface 13 thereof with batteries 14. The upper
surface 15 of the upper cover 11 is provided certainly a screen
area and a push button control area which are not shown. Such a
fixed antenna 10 used on the mobile phone must have the fixed antenna
10 exposed out from the top surface 16 of the mobile phone, so that
the total length of the mobile phone is increased, and thereby,
it is difficult to have the mobile phone miniaturized. And the defect
stated above, i.e., the antenna protrudes from the top of the body
of the phone to make it inconvenient for carrying, is induced, and
this is not further narrated herein.
Referring to FIGS. 2-4, the main body of the mobile phone is also
comprised mainly of an upper cover 20 and a lower cover 30, and
certainly an essential main electric circuit board 40 is provided
in the interior space formed by the two members. The external surface
of the upper cover 20 is also provided with a screen area 22 and
a push button control area 24. The lower cover 30 is mounted on
the rear surface thereof with batteries 31.
The present invention is characterized by that, an antenna circuit
35 can be printed at a suitable position on the inner bottom surface
33 of the lower cover 30, the antenna circuit 35 is provided with
a protruding end connecting point 37. The antenna circuit 35 is
preferably a low frequency (900 MHZ) signal transmitting and receiving
electric circuit. By virtue that the inner bottom surface 33 of
the lower cover 30 has a larger area than that of an ordinary exterior
antenna, an excellent low frequency (900 MHZ) signal transmitting
and receiving electric circuit can thus be formed. The main electric
circuit board 40 in the body of the phone is provided on the rear
surface 42 thereof with another connecting point 44 in opposition
to the end connecting point 37, these points can be connected with
each other when the upper cover 20 and the lower cover 30 are assembled,
thereby, the antenna circuit 35 become a common antenna also for
the main electric circuit board 40.
In the preferred embodiment shown, the connecting points 37, 44
can be mounted therebetween a ceramic layer 50 and a matching electric
circuit board layer 60, these two layers 50, 60 can be connected
integrally. The ceramic layer 50 faces to the inner bottom surface
33, while the matching electric circuit board layer 60 is preferably
kept a space from the main electric circuit board 40 to form air
interlayers 70, 80.
In structure of the above stated embodiment, the matching electric
circuit board layer 60 is provided respectively on the two sides
thereof with connecting points 61, 62, wherein, the connecting point
61 can be electrically connected with the connecting point 37 on
the inner bottom surface 33 of the lower cover 30 when the essential
members are in positions, and the other connecting point 62 can
be electrically connected with the other connecting point 44 of
the main electric circuit board 40.
As shown in FIG. 5, when a sample of the present invention is under
testing, provided that the test value of frequency is 890-915 MHZ
at A, 935-960 MHZ at B, 1710-17855 MHZ at C and 1805-1880 MHZ at
D, these test values of frequencies are low frequencies (such as
900 MHZ) and high frequencies (such as 1800 MHZ) used normally.
From the test chart, we can see that the standing wave ratios (SWR)
of the four points A, B, C and D are all under the value 2, function
thereof is quite ideal.
In the present invention, the above stated structure can completely
hide the antenna in the main body of the mobile phone; there is
no any exposed member of the antenna to the exterior of the phone.
It is suitable for carrying and is able to render the mobile phone
miniaturized, thus it is surely industrial valuable.
The preferred embodiment cited above is only for illustrating and
not for giving any limitation to the scope of the present invention.
It will be apparent to those skilled in this art that various modifications
or changes can be made to the elements of the present invention
without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention. Accordingly,
all such modifications and changes also fall within the scope of
the appended claims and are intended to form part of this invention.
