Abstract

A hybrid multi-antenna system includes a system circuit board, an antenna substrate, at least a dipole antenna, and at least a monopole-slot antenna. The system board has at least a system ground plate, and the system ground plate is served as a reflector of the hybrid multi-antenna system. The antenna substrate and the system ground plate have a first distance therebetween. The dipole antenna having a first signal feed-in source and the monopole-slot antenna having a second signal feed-in source respectively provide a first and second operating band, and they are on a surface of the antenna substrate. The monopole-slot antenna is located nearby the dipole antenna. The monopole-slot antenna and the dipole antenna have a second distance therebetween. The first and second signal feed-in sources are vertical to each other, and have the phase difference of 90°.
