ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING HINGE STRUCTURE AS ANTENNA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18328176 Titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE USING HINGE STRUCTURE AS ANTENNA'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an electronic device that has a housing with a hinge. The hinge includes a conductive portion that is electrically connected to at least one of the frames of the housing. The device also has a wireless communication circuit. In the first state, the wireless circuit transmits or receives a signal of a specific frequency band using the conductive portions of both frames. In the second state, the wireless circuit uses the conductive portion of the hinge along with the conductive portions of the frames to transmit or receive the same signal.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device is provided, The electronic device includes a housing, a hinge including a conductive portion, at least one contact electrically connecting the conductive portion and at least one of a first frame and second frame of the housing, and a wireless communication circuit. The first frame includes a first conductive portion. The second frame includes a second conductive portion. In a first state, the wireless communication circuit at least one of transmits or receives a signal of a first frequency band, based on the first conductive portion and the second conductive portion. In a second state, the wireless communication circuit at least one of transmits or receives the signal of the first frequency band, based on the first conductive portion and the conductive portion.
