A portable
wireless device realizing high-speed transmission in downlink communication in a used state that a foldable portable
wireless device is held in a hand of the user and ensuring a high
antenna radiation efficiency. In the portable
wireless device, platy conductors (1, 3, 4) are arranged in the longitudinal direction on the back of a display section (35) of an upper case (5). The
signal of a transmission circuit (25) is distributed by a power
distributor (18). One
signal is fed to a platy conductor (1) through a phase shifter (17) and the other is fed to the platy conductor (3) or the platy conductor (4) from a high-frequency switch (19) through a transmission / reception
duplexer (20) or a transmission / reception
duplexer (21). The high-frequency switch (19) selectively feeds power to either the platy conductor (3) or the platy conductor (4) according to the
signal from a gravity sensor (26). The received signal is extracted by the transmission / reception duplexers (20, 21), amplified by a receiving circuit (22) and a receiving circuit (23), and multiplied by a predetermined
weight coefficient by a demodulating section (24) and combined.
