Abstract
A case with a shape of a thin rectangular parallelepiped which incorporates a radio signal processing circuit is provided with a data input/output section disposed on its surface and a microphone and a speaker disposed on either longitudinal end of the surface. Disposed inside of the case is a linear antenna, which longitudinally extends and goes out of the case from its side, and is placed adjacent to the surface of the case. Thus, the antenna characteristics are protected from deterioration even when the device is used on the desk. Further, the speaker is disposed in one of the sections divided by the longitudinal center line on the case surface and the linear antenna is disposed in the other section. Thus, the antenna gain fluctuation caused by the human body can be prevented so that the stable antenna characteristics can be maintained without being affected by the environment of utilization.
