Claim 13:
14. A mobile terminal having a front surface, a rear surface and side surfaces, the mobile terminal comprising:
a housing having a front side, a rear side and lateral sides, the housing including a metal rim formed of a metal material and at least one bending portion formed of a non-metal material, and the lateral side of the housing having two short sides and two long sides that are longer than the two short sides;
a rear cover disposed on the rear side of the housing, the cover having a planar portion and at least one bending portion bent from the planar portion;
a first reflection sheet disposed on a first portion of the cover and formed of a metal material;
a second reflection sheet disposed on a second portion of the cover and formed of a metal material;
a first antenna module disposed between a rear side of the housing and a first side edge portion of the front cover;
a first antenna frame configured to support the first antenna module and formed of a metal material;
a second antenna module disposed between the rear side of the housing and a second side edge of the front cover; and
a second antenna frame configured to support the second antenna module and formed of a metal material,
wherein the first antenna module and the second antenna module are configured to radiate beamforming radio signals,
wherein each of the first and second antenna modules comprises an insulating member, an electronic element disposed on a surface of the insulating member, and antenna patterns disposed on the other surface of the insulating member,
wherein the first antenna frame is configured to transmit heat from the first antenna module to the housing, and the second antenna frame is configured to transmit heat from the second antenna module to the housing,
wherein the first antenna module is tilted at a portion of the rear side of the housing, the second antenna module is tilted at another portion at the rear side of the housing, the exterior of a first side of the mobile terminal is defined by a first bending portion of the cover and a first side surface portion of the housing, the exterior of a second side of the mobile terminal is defined by a second bending portion of the cover and a second side surface portion of the housing, and part of the first bending portion of the cover and part of the planar portion of the cover include a first region, a second region, and a third region,
wherein the second region faces a first antenna pattern, and the third region is connected to a portion of the second region adjacent to the first side surface portion of the housing,
wherein the first region is connected to another portion of the second region opposite to the third region,
wherein the first reflection sheet is disposed on the first region of the cover, and a beamforming radio signal of the first region is reflected to the second and third regions by the first reflection sheet,
wherein part of the second bending portion of the cover and part of the planar portion of the cover comprise a fourth region, a fifth region, and a sixth region,
wherein the fifth region faces the second antenna pattern, the sixth region is connected to a portion of the fifth region adjacent to the second side surface portion of the housing, and the fourth region is connected to another portion of the fifth region opposite to the sixth region,
wherein the second reflection sheet is disposed on the fourth region of the cover, and a beamforming radio signal of the fourth region is reflected to the fifth and sixth regions by the second reflection sheet, and
wherein a tilting angle of the first antenna module is different from that of the second antenna module.
