Abstract
In a portable telephone, a first housing and a second housing are connected to each other by hinge sections which makes the first housing and the second housing rotatable about the long-side direction of the housings. A metal frame is provided at a peripheral section of the first housing, and a display section is provided at the central section of the first housing. A metal is used as a frame and can also be operated as an antenna element. In the second housing, a circuit board to which a baseband circuit and a radio circuit are mounted, a first feeding section which supplies electric power to the metal frame, and a draw-out rod antenna which can be drawn out from and housed in the housing are supplied with electric power by the second feeding section. Further, a cellular antenna which performs communication with a base station is also incorporated in the second housing. The rod antenna can be drawn out in the direction substantially in parallel with the rotation axis of the above described hinge.
