Abstract:
1. A wireless communication device comprising: a first casing including a first conductor and a conductor element connected to the first conductor; a second casing including a second conductor; and a coupling mechanism that couples the first casing and the second casing so as to be rotationally displaceable with respect to each other around a perpendicular axis, wherein the first casing and the second casing are rotationally displaced with respect to each other, so that switching is performed at least between: wherein: the first metamaterial electrically connects the conductor element and the second conductor in the first state at a communication frequency of the wireless communication device; the second conductor includes a second conductor element in the predetermined region; and the first conductor or the second conductor includes a third conductor element, and in the second state, the conductor element or the second conductor element, and the third conductor element are opposite to each other to constitute at least a portion of a metamaterial.
