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.
