Abstract

A wearable device for wireless communication includes a device body, a wearable belt, a ground element, a feeding element, and a radiation element. The device body substantially has a central hollow structure. The ground element and the feeding element are both disposed in the device body. The feeding element is coupled to a signal source. The radiation element is disposed on a surface of the wearable belt or in the wearable belt, and is disposed adjacent to the feeding element. A coupled-fed antenna structure is formed by the feeding element and the radiation element.

Claims (19)

1. A wearable device for wireless communication, comprising:

a device body, substantially having a central hollow structure;

a wearable belt;

a ground element, disposed in the device body;

a feeding element, disposed in the device body, and coupled to a signal source; and

a first radiation element, disposed on a surface of the wearable belt or in the wearable belt, and disposed adjacent to the feeding element, wherein a coupled-fed antenna structure is formed by the feeding element and the first radiation element;

wherein the first radiation element is completely separate from the ground element and the feeding element;

wherein the wearable device further comprises:

a second radiation element, separated from the first radiation element, and disposed adjacent to the feeding element, wherein the coupled-fed antenna structure further comprises the second radiation element, and the second radiation element is disposed on an outer side surface of the device body;

wherein the second radiation element is substantially parallel to the first radiation element.

2. The wearable device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the device body and the wearable belt are made of nonconductive materials.

3. The wearable device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ground element is disposed on an inner bottom surface of the device body, and the inner bottom surface further has a non-grounding region, and the feeding element is disposed on the inside of the non-grounding region.

4. The wearable device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feeding element substantially has a straight-line shape.

5. The wearable device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first radiation element substantially has an L-shape or substantially forms a closed loop.

6. The wearable device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a length of a first coupling gap between the feeding element and the first radiation element is smaller than 2 mm.

7. The wearable device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coupled-fed antenna structure is configured to cover an operation band which is substantially from 2400 MHz to 2484 MHz.

8. The wearable device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ground element is disposed on an inner bottom surface of the device body, and the feeding element is disposed on an inner side surface of the device body, and the inner side surface is adjacent and perpendicular to the inner bottom surface.

9. The wearable device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a length of a second coupling gap between the feeding element and the second radiation element is smaller than 2 mm.

10. The wearable device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second radiation element substantially has a straight-line shape.
