Abstract

A communication device with an embedded antenna includes a printed circuit board and an embedded antenna including at least one radiating unit, at least one feeding unit, where each feeding unit is coupled to a corresponding one of the at least one radiating unit and the printed circuit board, and a connecting unit coupled to the at least one radiating unit including a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The connecting unit and the at least one radiating unit form a loop structure such that the embedded antenna is capable of covering one side of the printed circuit board.

Claims (17)

1. A communication device with an embedded antenna comprising:

a printed circuit board; and

an embedded antenna, comprising:

at least one radiating unit;

at least one feeding unit, wherein each feeding unit is coupled to one of the at least one radiating unit and the printed circuit board; and

a connecting unit, coupled to the at least one radiating unit, comprising a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion,

wherein the connecting unit and the at least one radiating unit form a loop structure such that the embedded antenna covers one side of the printed circuit board.

2. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one feeding unit is electrically connected to a metal area of the printed circuit board by a surface mount technology procedure.

3. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the embedded antenna further comprises at least one fixing unit coupled to the connecting unit, for electrically connecting the embedded antenna and at least one metal area of the printed circuit board.

4. The communication device of claim 3 , wherein one of the at least one fixing unit is coupled to a ground plane of the printed circuit board.

5. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the embedded antenna further comprises at least one blocking unit coupled to the connecting unit, for aligning the at least one feeding unit with at least one metal area of the printed circuit board when the embedded antenna covers one side of the printed circuit board.

6. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one radiating unit and the printed circuit board are a predetermined distance apart.

7. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein each of the at least one feeding unit comprises a blocking portion, for maintaining the predetermined distance between the printed circuit board and each of the at least one radiating unit.

8. The communication device of claim 6 , wherein each of the both sides of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion comprises a blocking portion, for maintaining the predetermined distance between the printed circuit board and each of the at least one radiating unit.

9. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the embedded antenna is formed by at least one metal plate.

10. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the embedded antenna is a planar inverted-F antenna.

11. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the embedded antenna is a monopole antenna.
