Abstract

A portable radio telephone (1) with improved antenna radiation efficiency. The radio telephone (1) has an antenna (5) asymmetrical about a feedpoint (9). A two part housing (3, 4) partially encloses the antenna (5) and an electrically conductive surface provides a reflector (10) for antenna (5), the reflector (10) having a length that is at least half a wavelength of an intended lowest operating frequency of the radio telephone (1).
