Abstract

An electronic device includes a circuit board, a dual band planar inverted-F antenna, and a loud speaker. The circuit board has a ground terminal and a feeding terminal. The dual band planar inverted-F antenna includes a short circuit part, a feeding part, and a radiator. The short circuit part is connected to the ground terminal. The feeding part is connected to the feeding terminal. The radiator with an opening is connected to the ground terminal and the feeding terminal through the short circuit part and the feeding part, respectively. The loud speaker is connected to the circuit board for playing voice. The loud speaker is disposed substantially under the opening.

Claims (43)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a circuit board having a ground terminal and a feeding terminal;

a dual-band Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) being operated in a first operational frequency band and a second operational frequency band, wherein the dual PIFA comprises;

a short circuit part electrically connected with the ground terminal;

a feeding part electrically connected with the feeding terminal; and

a radiator having an opening, wherein the radiator connects to the ground terminal and the feeding terminal via the short circuit part and the feeding part, respectively; and

a loud speaker electrically connected to the circuit board for playing voice, wherein the loud speaker is disposed corresponding to the opening substantially, wherein an area of the opening is substantially larger than an area of the loud speaker so as to reduce interference to the loud speaker by radiation signals from the radiator.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the dual band PIFA further comprises a medium material placed between the radiator and the circuit board for separating the radiator from the circuit board.

3. The electronic device according to claim 2 , wherein the medium material comprises air.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the short circuit part, the feeding part and the radiator are monolithically formed.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the short circuit part is a sheet metal.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the feeding part is a sheet metal.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 being a mobile phone.

8. An electronic device, comprising:

a circuit board having a ground terminal and a feeding terminal;

a dual-band Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) being operated in a first operational frequency band and a second operational frequency band, wherein the dual PIFA comprises:

a short circuit part electrically connected with the ground terminal;

a feeding part electrically connected with the feeding terminal; and

a radiator having an opening, wherein the radiator connects to the ground terminal and the feeding terminal via the short circuit part and the feeding part, respectively, wherein the radiator comprises:

a long-arm radiation portion having a first resonance mode in order to operate the dual band PIFA in the first operational frequency band; and

a short-arm radiation portion connected to the long-arm radiation portion, wherein the opening is formed between the long-arm radiation portion and the short-arm radiation portion, and the short-arm radiation portion has a second resonance mode in order to operate the dual band PIFA in the second operational frequency band; and

a loud speaker electrically connected to the circuit board for playing voice, wherein the loud speaker is disposed corresponding to the opening substantially.

9. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the dual band PIFA further comprises a medium material placed between the radiator and the circuit board for separating the radiator from the circuit board.

10. The electronic device according to claim 9 , wherein the medium material comprises air.

11. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the short circuit part, the feeding part and the radiator are monolithically formed.

12. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the short circuit part is a sheet metal.

13. The electronic device according to claim 8 , wherein the feeding part is a sheet metal.

14. The electronic device according to claim 8 being a mobile phone.

15. An electronic device, comprising:

a circuit board having a ground terminal and a feeding terminal;

a dual-band Planar Inverted-F Antenna (PIFA) being operated in a first operational frequency band and a second operational frequency band, wherein the dual PIFA comprises:

a short circuit part electrically connected with the ground terminal;

a feeding part electrically connected with the feeding terminal; and

a radiator having an opening, wherein the radiator connects to the ground terminal and the feeding terminal via the short circuit part and the feeding part, respectively;

a loud speaker electrically connected to the circuit board for playing voice, wherein the loud speaker is disposed corresponding to the opening substantially;

a first integrated circuit electrically connected to the circuit board; and

a second integrated circuit electrically connected to the circuit board, the first integrated circuit for the radiation signals being more sensitive than the second integrated circuit for radiation signals, a distance between the second integrated circuit and the loud speaker being smaller than a distance between the first integrated circuit and the loud speaker.

16. The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein the dual band PIFA further comprises a medium material placed between the radiator and the circuit board for separating the radiator from the circuit board.

17. The electronic device according to claim 16 , wherein the medium material comprises air.

18. The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein the short circuit part, the feeding part and the radiator are monolithically formed.

19. The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein the short circuit part is a sheet metal.

20. The electronic device according to claim 15 , wherein the feeding part is a sheet metal.

21. The electronic device according to claim 15 being a mobile phone.
