Disclosed herein is an antenna device for use with a portable wireless
terminal having a main body, and a sub-body slidably coupled thereto,
with a first antenna mounted in the main body and a second antenna
mounted on the sub-body. The second antenna is selectively exposed to the
outside as the sub-body moves slidingly on the main body. Conventional
sliding-type terminals incorporate an antenna device in its main body
that is interfered with by user body parts, thereby causing deteriorated
performance. The antenna device of the present invention improves
performance by using an additional second antenna mounted on the sub-body
of the terminal to improve transmitting/receiving signal quality of the
terminal. Furthermore, as such an antenna device is incorporated inside a
sliding-type terminal or a pop-up type terminal, it is possible to
eliminate risk of damage and to diversify the design of the terminal.
