Portable radio communication device
First Claim
1. A portable radio communication device comprising:
- a communication section for transmitting a signal arranged at an upper portion of a housing of the radio communication device, the housing accommodating a radio communication section therein; and
a radiating element of a chokeless circularly polarized antenna held on the communication section such that the entire radiating element is held away from the housing, wherein the radiating element of the circularly polarized antenna is a radiating element of an antenna having an antenna gain at low elevation angles for communication with satellites in low earth orbit, wherein a main beam of the circularly polarized antenna is directed at a low elevation angle, and wherein the communication section holds the circularly polarized antenna at a height such that a communication with a satellite at a low elevation angle is not substantially obstructed by a user'"'"'s head.

Abstract
A small-sized flat antenna mounted on a portable radio communication device is available for a narrow bandwidth, and the resonance frequency of the flat antenna varies due to interference between the flat antenna and surrounding dielectrics such as a housing and a human body. As a result, the transmission efficiency and reception sensitivity of the antenna have been impaired. A communicating section (constructed of a coaxial line or a microstrip line)is arranged in a portable radio communication device having a circularly polarized antenna for satellite communication, so that an appropriate distance is provided not only between a housing of the portable radio communication device and the antenna but also between a human body and the antenna.

a communication section for transmitting a signal arranged at an upper portion of a housing of the radio communication device, the housing accommodating a radio communication section therein;
a radiating element of a first chokeless circularly polarized antenna held on the communication section such that the entire radiating element is held away from the housing, wherein the radiating element of the circularly polarized antenna is a radiating element of an antenna having an antenna gain at low elevation angles for communication with satellites in low earth orbit, wherein a main beam of the first circularly polarized antenna is directed at a low elevation angle, and wherein the communication section holds the circularly polarized antenna at a height such that a communication with a satellite at a low elevation angle is not substantially obstructed by a user'"'"'s head; and
a second chokeless circularly polarized antenna, wherein a main beam of the second circularly polarized antenna is directed at a high elevation angle. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5)
