A PDA includes a printed-circuit board on which at least one printed antenna
pair
having two chip-like printed antennas, which receive linearly polarized signals
and are disposed along axes orthogonal to each other, is mounted. In each of the
printed antennas, an open end is formed of at least two antenna conductors separated
from each other. Besides, in the printed-circuit board, a ground required by one
or plural other modules is disposed so as to surround a surrounding area of at
least three sides of four sides forming a rectangular section in each of the printed
antennas, and each of the printed antennas is disposed and mounted so that a remaining
one side faces an edge portion of the printed-circuit board. While the PDA can
receive circularly polarized signals very effectively, the degree of freedom in
layout is greatly expanded and miniaturization can be realized.
