Abstract
A portable radio communication device such as wristwatch receiver and/or transmitter is provided with an effective noise shielding structure. The portable radio communication device includes a high frequency analog circuitry for receiving and transmitting radio signals and further includes digital circuitry for data processing and display. The noise shielding structure protects high frequency noise from being transmitted to the analog circuitry from the digital circuitry and from other outside sources. The noise shielding structure is made of electrically conductive material. In another aspect of the invention, at least one circuit board constructed of a multi-layered construction having at least one inner printed wire pattern is provided. The inner printed wire pattern is set at ground potential with respect to the high frequency output from the analog circuitry. In this manner the inner printed wire pattern serves as a noise shielding member. In addition, the invention obtains effective noise shielding without increasing the size or the manufacturing cost of the device.
