Abstract

A portable terminal is provided. The portable terminal includes a main housing, a sub housing, a mainboard, and an electric connector. The main housing has a first antenna radiator. The sub housing is separable from the main housing and has a second antenna radiator. The mainboard is disposed in the main housing and processes a radio signal. The electric connector is disposed in the main housing. When the sub housing and the main housing are separated from each other, the electric connector electrically connects the mainboard with the first antenna radiator of the main housing. When the sub housing and the main housing are coupled, the electric connector electrically connects the mainboard with the second antenna radiator of the sub housing.
