Abstract

A printed-wiring board is incorporated into an electronic device housing constructed of a conductive member, and has a ground pattern. A metal plate having a size equal to or larger than the printed-wiring board is disposed in a position facing to the printed-wiring board. The metal plate has a characteristic impedance corresponding to an electric characteristic and a relative position to the printed-wiring board. A connecting member electrically connects the ground pattern of the printed-wiring board to the metal plate, and includes an impedance element having a value substantially equal to the characteristic impedance between the printed-wiring board and the metal plate. An occurrence of radiant noises caused by standing-waves etc. is thereby prevented. A conductive layer having the ground pattern of the printed-wiring board may be connected to another conductive layer provided instead of the metal plate and including a conductive member of which an area is substantially equal to the former conductive layer, with an impedance element interposed between these conductive layers.
