Portable radio terminal capable of obtaining good polarization efficiency regardless of position and direction of antenna
First Claim
1. A portable radio terminal for improving the quality of a polarization efficiency caused by the fact that the terminal is held in a user'"'"'s left or right hand, said terminal comprising:
- a housing configured to house various components;
a radio circuit configured to be included in said housing;
a matching circuit, provided in the vicinity of one end face perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of said housing, and configured to match radio waves during communication;
a linear antenna configured to extend from said one end face of said housing along a longitudinal one side of said housing; and
a load circuit which is provided between the tip of said matching circuit and the base end of said linear antenna and which has a variable load value.

Abstract
A portable radio terminal comprises a housing, a radio circuit included in the housing, a matching circuit mounted on the top of the housing at a position which is offset from the longitudinal center line of the housing, a load connected to the tip of the matching circuit, and a linear antenna connected to the load. This portable radio terminal further comprises load changing means for changing the value of the load. The matching circuit may comprise a meander matching element, a zigzag-shaped matching element, a helical matching element, a conical matching element, a rectangular helical matching element or a pyramid helical matching element which are formed so as to a predetermined shape, such as a meander shape, a zigzag shape, a helical shape, a conical shape, a rectangular helical shape or pyramid helical shape. Thus, even if the terminal is held in a user'"'"'s left or right hand, it is possible to increase the quantity of radiation of vertically polarized waves, so that it is possible to provide the optimum antenna construction to carry out good radio communication.
