Abstract

A mobile wireless device enables effective use of space in a case while reducing degradation of ah antenna gain and maintaining communication quality even if a plurality of antennas having different frequency bands are arranged close to one another. A magnetic antenna has a first switch unit, a second switch unit, and a concentrated constant circuit which are added to a wiring pattern at the side near to a main antenna, so that a first path and a second path can be selected. Under a predetermined condition, a CPU controls the first switch and the second switch to electrically connect a terminal (A1) to a terminal (B1) and electrically connect terminal (A2) to terminal (B2), thereby forming the first path; and electrically connect terminal (A1) to a terminal (C1) and electrically connect terminal (A2) to a terminal (C2), thereby forming the second path connected via the concentrated constant circuit.

Claims

14. A portable wireless device comprising:

a body;

a first communication unit arranged in the body and including a first antenna unit that communicates with an external device by way of a first usable frequency band, and a first information processing unit that performs predetermined processing with respect to information communicated by the first antenna unit;

a second communication unit arranged in the body and including a second antenna unit that is disposed in the vicinity of the first antenna unit and communicates by way of a second usable frequency band that is a frequency band overlapping a high-order secondary resonance point of the first usable frequency band, and a second information processing unit that performs predetermined processing with respect to information communicated by the second antenna unit;

an adjustment unit which adjusts a resonance point of the first usable frequency band of the first antenna unit; and

a control unit which adjusts by the adjustment unit the resonance point of the first usable frequency band so that a high-order secondary resonance point of the first usable frequency band does not overlap with the second usable frequency band.

15. The portable wireless device according to claim 14, wherein the control unit, when a reception strength of the first usable frequency band by the first antenna unit is no more than a predetermined value, adjusts by the adjustment unit the resonance point of the first usable frequency band so that a high-order secondary resonance point of the first usable frequency band does not overlap with the second usable frequency band.

16. The portable wireless device according to claim 14, wherein the control unit judges whether or not there is a demand for the predetermined processing by the first information processing unit of the first communication unit, and when it has judged that there is no such demand, adjusts by the adjustment unit the resonance point of the first usable frequency band so that the high-order secondary resonance point of the first usable frequency band does not overlap with the second usable frequency band.
