Patent ID: 8344952

Claim:
A portable terminal, comprising: a terminal case; and an antenna module installed in the terminal case, and configured to receive a broadcast band, wherein the antenna module includes: a chip antenna having a dielectric chip and a conductor, the conductor being patterned on the dielectric chip so as to define a physical length of the chip antenna that enables the chip antenna to operate within the broadcast band, and a conductive plate connected to the chip antenna, and configured to have an area on which a main radiation of the antenna module occurs, wherein the conductive plate includes first and second conductive plates, wherein the first conductive plate is configured as a meander pattern and electronically connected to a side of the chip antenna, wherein the second conductive plate is configured as a partial meander pattern and electronically connected to an opposite side of the chip antenna, and wherein at least one of feeding portions of the antenna module is disposed at a connecting line between the first conductive plate and the chip antenna.
