Abstract

An antenna circuit includes a first antenna circuit, a second antenna circuit, and a connection hole. The first antenna circuit is disposed on a non-exterior surface of a terminal device; the second antenna circuit is disposed on an exterior surface of the terminal device, where the exterior surface is a surface of the terminal device visible to a user, and the non-exterior surface is disposed opposite to the exterior surface; and the connection hole penetrates through the non-exterior surface and the exterior surface, where the first antenna circuit and the second antenna circuit are electrically connected by using the connection hole.

Claims (43)

1. An antenna circuit, included in a terminal device, comprising:
