Abstract

A terminal device includes a radiator sharing antenna. The radiator sharing antenna includes a radiator that is divided into a first sub-radiator and a second sub-radiator through a gap, a first feeding point located on the first sub-radiator, and a second feeding point located on the second sub-radiator. The first feeding point is configured to pass a first radio frequency signal through resonance of the first sub-radiator and through parasitic resonance of the second sub-radiator, and the second feeding point is configured to pass a second radio frequency signal through resonance of the second sub-radiator and through parasitic resonance of the first sub-radiator.
