Abstract

A capacitive loop antenna is disclosed. The capacitive loop antenna comprises a shorting-to-ground terminal, for providing grounding, a feeding terminal, for receiving a first radio frequency feeding signal, and a first capacitive loop. The first capacitive loop comprises a first connection element, a first radiator, comprising an end electrically connected to the feeding terminal via the first connection element, to feed the first radio frequency feeding signal to the first radiator, a second connection element, and a second radiator, comprising an end electrically connected to the shorting-to-ground terminal via the second connection element. A first section of another end of the first radiator is capacitively coupled with the second radiator.
