Input device with wireless headset function for portable terminal

An antenna assembly for a portable terminal. The antenna assembly includes an antenna housing releasably received in the portable terminal; a cam member having at least one stopping groove formed on a surface of the cam member, and connected to the antenna housing to move linearly and reciprocally in the portable terminal; a stopper coupled to the cam member in the portable terminal to interlock with the cam member; and an elastic member providing elastic force in a direction where the antenna housing is withdrawn from the portable terminal, wherein the stopper is engaged with the stopping groove to restrain the antenna housing in an interior of the portable terminal when the antenna housing is received and locked in the portable terminal. Since the antenna assembly can be carried while being received and locked in the portable terminal, it is possible to improve design and portability of the portable terminal, and to ensure better communication quality.
