Abstract

A wireless telephone apparatus, in particular a mobile radio telephone or hand-set, a cordless telephone or the like, comprises an upper shell containing breakthroughs for a keyboard, and lower shell. In the area of the upper shell and the lower shell, there is at least one electrically and magnetically conducting screening element for screening the head of the use against EMV. According to one embodiment of the invention, the screening element is provided in the form of a lining of the upper shell or lower shell, for example in the form of an MU-metal sheet.

Claims

1. A wireless two-way radio telephone apparatus, comprising:

an upper shell containing breakthroughs for operating elements;

a lower shell connected to said upper shell; and

an electrically conducting screening element located within a region of one of said upper shell and lower shell for screening off EMV radiation generated by the electronics of said apparatus, said screening element being magnetically conductive for screening off HF and LF-radiation.

2. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the screening element contains a composite consisting of electrically conducting material and magnetically conducting material.

3. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the screening element contains a composite consisting of electrically conducting and magnetically conducting metal sheet.

4. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the screening element contains MU metal sheet.

5. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the MU metal sheet is provided with an electrically conducting metal coating.

6. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the screening element comprises solid screening material.

7. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the screening element is a net-like or perforated element.

8. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the screening element is arranged in an area of components of the apparatus emitting electromagnetic radiation.

9. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the screening element extends over an entire surface area of at least one of the upper shell and lower shell up to the breakthroughs.

10. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the screening element extends over a recessed edge of the upper shell and lower shell.

11. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the upper shell and lower shell consist of a material of the screening element.

12. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an antenna element projecting beyond the upper shell and lower shell and covered in plastic, and further comprising a cover of the antenna element comprising material of the screening element, said cover covering the antenna stub projecting from the housing on a head side to such an extent that function of the antenna is assured on a side facing away from the head.

13. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising an antenna completely arranged in the housing, wherein the screening element extends in an area of the antenna for EMV-screening the head of the user and covers the antenna on a side of the head to such an extent that function of the antenna on a side facing away from the head is assured.

14. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a device for applying to the screening element a counter field with low- and high-frequency field components for at least partially erasing a field produced by electronics of the apparatus in order to additionally reduce a field component of energy radiation of a speaking apparatus in the direction of the head of the user.

15. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the device comprises a signal detection generation and signal feeding unit for producing an electromagnetic counter field, said unit being coupled to the MU-metal sheet on one or both sides via at least one insulated λ

/x miniature dipole antenna.

16. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the device comprises a measuring and controlling loop containing the λ

/x miniature dipole antenna and a probe or antenna for measuring total electromagnetic field produced by and resulting from electronics of the apparatus on a side facing the head.

17. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the signal detection generation and signal feeding unit is linked with the measuring and controlling loop via a signal processor unit.

18. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 17, wherein a linkage between the signal detection generation and signal feeding unit comprises a means for highest-frequency signal/phase synchronization.

19. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 18, wherein a phase shift by 180 degrees is made available for the counter field by the means for signal set/phase synchronization.

20. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 19, wherein the screening element contains MU-metal sheet and wherein the device takes into account the MU-metal sheet as transmission antennas with large surface areas when producing the electromagnetic counter field.

21. The wireless two-way mobile radio telephone apparatus according to claim 20, characterized in that in addition to the antenna with the large surface area, the device includes in the generation of the electromagnetic counter field a λ

/x miniature dipole antenna in the form of a multitude of dipole antennas.
