Abstract

A wireless communication device includes an antenna module and a flexible substrate. The antenna module includes an antenna structure and a control chip. The control chip is configured to use an antenna structure to perform wireless communication. The flexible substrate is used to carry the antenna module and includes two substrate regions. The antenna structure includes a first antenna radiation plate and a second antenna radiation plate. An open slot is extended from an edge of the first antenna radiation plate to a center of the first antenna radiation plate. The second antenna radiation plate is disposed under the first antenna radiation plate to overlap the first antenna radiation plate. There is a distance between the first antenna radiation plate and the second antenna radiation plate, thus the second antenna radiation plate is coupled to the first antenna radiation plate.
