A portable communication device and an antenna system include a part having a ground plane located within and extending through the part. A hinging section is joined to the part and stretches along an end of the part for providing rotation of the part in relation to another part around an axis and providing a hinge cavity inside the hinging section surrounding the axis. An antenna element is at least partly provided inside the hinge cavity and the ground plane extends from the part into the hinge cavity at a distance from the antenna element.
