Abstract:
1. A wireless communication apparatus comprising: a first antenna section having a first power feed point; a second antenna section having a second power feed point; a rectangular shaped housing, wherein the first antenna section is disposed at a first lengthwise end of the housing and the second antenna section is disposed at a second lengthwise end of the housing; a rectangular shaped ground plate extending between the first antenna section and the second antenna section; a rectangular shaped electrically conductive plate including a printed circuit board of the wireless communication apparatus and disposed substantially in parallel with the ground plate and extending between the first antenna section and the second antenna section, wherein a surface area of the ground plate and a surface area of the conductive plate are substantially the same; and a plurality of short-circuiting members that electrically short-circuit the ground plate and the conductive plate to each other such that a slit configured to function as at least one of a slit antenna and slot antenna and having a length substantially half a wavelength of a frequency used by the wireless communication apparatus is formed by a part of a periphery of the ground plate and a part of a periphery of the conductive plate between the plurality of short-circuiting members.
