Abstract
In an antenna device and its assembly method as well as a wireless communication terminal and its assembly method, an antenna element is held in an antenna holding member. A circuit board formed with an electrode to supply power to the antenna element is held on a board holding member. The antenna element and the electrode of the circuit board are electrically connected each other by means of a connection member having elasticity by fixing the antenna holding member on the board holding member. This enables the antenna holding member to be fixed on the board holding member easily because the antenna element is held in the antenna holding member in advance, and concurrently the antenna element can be electrically connected to the electrode of the circuit board by means of the connection member by merely fixing the antenna holding member on the board holding member, thus markedly enhancing the assembly of the antenna devices and wireless communication terminal units.
