Patent ID: 7877123

Claim:
A method to internally transmit/receive an RF signal in a mobile communication terminal comprising: forming a first transmission path for mobile communication terminal electrical signals when a base portion and a movable portion are at a first relative position; forming a second transmission path for mobile communication terminal electrical signals when the base portion and the movable portion are at a second relative position; providing a first stationary, capacitive plate on one of the base portion and the movable portion; providing a second stationary, capacitive plate on the one of the base portion and the movable portion, the second stationary, capacitive plate spaced a predetermined distance from the first stationary, capacitive plate; providing a third stationary, capacitive plate on an other of the base portion and the movable portion; wherein the first transmission path includes the first stationary, capacitive plate on the one of the base portion and the movable portion and includes the third stationary, capacitive plate on the other of the base portion and the movable portion, and wherein the second transmission path includes the second stationary, capacitive plate on the one of the base portion and the movable portion and includes the third stationary, capacitive plate on the other of the movable portion and the base portion.
