Abstract

An antenna module is disclosed, including an electronic element, an antenna and a connecting element. The antenna includes a hole. The connecting element includes a first connecting portion, a propping portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion passes through the hole and is fixed to the antenna by the propping portion. The second connecting portion is electrically connected to the electronic element.

Claims (19)

1. An antenna module, comprising:

a first antenna having a first hole;

a second antenna comprising a second hole; and

a connecting element comprising a first connecting portion, a first propping portion, and a second connecting portion comprising a second propping portion,

wherein the first connecting portion passes through the first hole and is fixed to the first antenna by the first propping portion, the second connecting portion is electrically connected to second antenna, and the second propping portion passes through the second hole and is propped against the second antenna for connecting the connecting element to the second antenna.

2. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second antenna comprises an opening corresponding to the first hole, and the first propping portion passes through the opening for connecting the connecting element, the first antenna, and the second antenna.

3. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first antenna further comprises an electric circuit, and the first connecting portion is electrically connected to the electronic circuit.

4. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a plastic assembly covering the second antenna, the first antenna, and the connecting element.

5. The antenna module as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the plastic assembly covers the second antenna, the first antenna, and the connecting element via injection molding.

6. A manufacturing method of an antenna, the step comprising:

providing a first antenna, and the first antenna comprising a first hole;

providing a connecting element with a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion;

inserting the first connecting portion into the first hole;

bending the first connecting portion to form a first propping portion for fixing the first connecting portion in the first hole;

connecting the second connecting portion to an electronic element; and

packaging the first antenna, the connecting element, and the electronic element via injection molding.

7. The manufacturing method of an antenna as claimed in claim 6 , wherein when the electronic element is a circuit board or a cable, the second connecting portion is electrically connected by soldering and adhesive.

8. The manufacturing method of an antenna as claimed in claim 6 , wherein when the electronic element is a second antenna, the second connecting portion comprises a second propping portion and the electronic element comprises a second hole, and the second propping portion passes through the second hole and props against the electronic element for fixation.

9. The manufacturing method of an antenna as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising inserting the first connecting portion into an opening of the electronic element.
