When the antenna is a dielectric resin antenna, it is preferable that the portion of the housing other than the dielectric resin antenna is made of resin. If it is made of resin like this,
It is easy to integrate the dielectric resin antenna with other parts of the housing. The integration can be performed as follows. For example, it is assumed that the portion of the casing other than the dielectric resin antenna is made of resin, and the portion other than the dielectric resin antenna and the dielectric resin antenna are integrally molded. Injection molding or the like is used for this integral formation. When the electrode used as the radiation electrode of the dielectric resin antenna is a metal material, this electrode is integrated with the housing by insert molding. Further, the resin material serving as the dielectric of the dielectric resin antenna and the resin material forming the other part of the housing can be injection-molded in the same mold by a two-color molding method or a three-color molding method.
Thus, by adopting the method of injection-molding a plurality of types of resins in the same mold, it is possible to manufacture a housing with a dielectric resin antenna with high productivity.

When providing the grounding electrode, the grounding electrode is mounted on the applied dielectric resin. In this way, when the dielectric resin of the dielectric resin antenna is used as the coating layer, the number of coating steps is increased compared to the case where the whole is integrally molded by injection molding, but the injection molding technology is easier and easier to manufacture. can do.

The cover and other parts of the housing may be made conductive. Thus, by covering the outer surface of the dielectric resin antenna with the low dielectric constant resin, it is possible to protect the dielectric resin antenna from the outside of the housing while allowing the passage of electromagnetic waves. Further, by making the other parts of the housing conductive, that is, by making the housing parts other than the electromagnetic wave radiation part conductive, it is unnecessary from the high-frequency circuit board arranged in the housing. It is possible to block not only radiation but also electromagnetic waves from the outside. Further, by covering the periphery of the dielectric resin antenna with the low dielectric constant resin, it is possible to avoid interference between the conductive casing portion and the radiation electrode of the dielectric resin antenna.

In the device with wireless communication function of the present invention, a part of the housing is formed by an antenna, so that the device can be downsized, the weight can be reduced, and the flexibility of external design can be increased. In particular, when the antenna is a dielectric resin antenna, it is easier to reduce the size. When the antenna is a dielectric resin antenna, it can be easily integrated with the portion of the housing other than the antenna. The outer surface of the dielectric resin antenna and the outer periphery of the housing are covered with a low dielectric constant resin that has a lower dielectric constant than the dielectric of the dielectric resin antenna, and the other parts of the housing are made conductive. In this case, the dielectric resin antenna can be protected from the outside of the housing while allowing passage of electromagnetic waves. Moreover, it is possible to block unwanted radiation from the high-frequency circuit board arranged in the housing and also to block the intrusion of electromagnetic waves from the outside, so that the conductive housing portion and the radiation electrode of the dielectric resin antenna can be separated from each other. Interference can also be avoided. When the dielectric resin antenna is provided in a housing component with an antenna that is separate from the body of the housing and attached to the body of the housing, the housing component with an antenna can be used in various housings. It can be mass-produced as a common body, simplifies the manufacturing of the housing, and can easily deal with design changes.
