A shielding unit is formed by press-fitting a small diameter portion of a shielding shell into a shielding ring around which an end portion of a shielding member is wrapped, such that the end portion of the shielding member is sandwiched by the shielding ring and the small diameter portion.

A material (8 ) for permittivity adjustment is provided in an interval (S) between the parasitic radiation electrode (3) and the driven radiation electrode (4) whe re capacitance is created. The material (8) for permittivity adjustment has a lower permittivity than the dielectric base (2), so that the permittivity between the parasitic radiation electrode (3) and the driven radiation electrode (4) is below the permittivity of the dielectric base (2), reducing the capacitive coupling between the parasitic radiation electrode (3) and th e driven radiation electrode (4).As a result, the resonance interaction betwee n the parasitic radiation electrode (3) and the driven radiation electrode (4) decreases, thus improving antenna performance, without taking measures, such as an increase in the interval (S) between the parasitic radiation electrode (3) and the driven radiation electrode (4) and a decrease in permittivity of the dielectric bases (2), which may obstruct the miniaturization of a surfac e- mount antenna (1).

Radio terminal procedure method and radio terminal system

A user makes a call to a center station ( 30 ) using a radio terminal ( 1 ) requesting communication. An authentication station ( 20 ) authenticates the call by checking a calling number that is attached to the call against the calling number that corresponds to this radio terminal and is managed at the authentication station. The authentication station then connects the call between the radio terminal and the center station so that they communicate with each other via a radio network ( 10 ). The user uses the radio terminal to fill in predetermined information on an input form sent from the center station. The input form on which the entries have been filled in is sent from the radio terminal to the center station, and contract procedures, contract annulment, or model change procedures with a communication provider are performed. If required, the radio terminal registers the calling number sent from the center station.
