Abstract

An integrated structure of a metal housing and an antenna of an electronic apparatus, where the electronic apparatus includes the metal housing and an antenna structure, the antenna structure includes an antenna main body, at least one micro gap set is disposed on the metal housing, the at least one micro gap set includes micro gaps, the at least one micro gap set divides the metal housing to form at least one metal region, and the at least one metal region is connected to the antenna main body to serve as a radiating body of the antenna structure.

Claims (38)

1 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

metal housing; and

an antenna structure comprising:

an antenna main body; and

a first micro gap set disposed on the metal housing, comprising first micro gaps, and dividing the metal housing to form a first metal region,

wherein the first metal region is connected to the antenna main body to serve as a radiating body of the antenna structure.

2 . (canceled)

3 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , is further comprising a second micro gap set, wherein the first micro gap set and the second micro gap set divide the metal housing into the first metal region, a second metal region, and a third metal region.

4 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a second micro gap set, wherein the first micro gap set and the second micro gap set divide the metal housing to form the first metal region and a second metal region.

5 . (canceled)

6 . The electronic apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the metal housing is a back cover, a front housing, or a back cover having a metal frame, and wherein the first micro gap set and the second micro gap set laterally or longitudinally run through the metal housing to divide the metal housing into the first metal region, the second metal region, and the third metal region.

7 . The electronic apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the metal housing is a peripheral frame of the electronic apparatus or a peripheral frame connected to a metal back cover, and wherein the first micro gap set and the second micro gap set are disposed at intervals to divide the peripheral frame into the first metal region and the second metal region.

8 . (canceled)

9 . The electronic apparatus claim 1 , wherein the antenna structure further comprises:

a radio frequency transceiver circuit, and

a matching circuit located between, and electrically connected to, the radio frequency transceiver circuit and the antenna main body.

10 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna structure further comprises a feed point disposed on the antenna main body.

11 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first micro gap set is formed by arranging the first micro gaps at intervals.

12 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first micro gap set is formed by crosswise disposing the first micro gaps.

13 . The electronic apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising a non-metal material filling in the first micro gaps.

14 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a width of one of the first micro gaps is less than 0.5 millimeters.

15 . The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the antenna main body and the metal region are configured to connect using a metal dome or a screw.

16 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a circuit board comprising a ground;

a metal housing; and

an antenna structure comprising:

an antenna main body; and

a first micro gap set disposed on the metal housing, comprising first micro gaps, and dividing the metal housing to form a first metal region,

wherein the metal region is connected to the ground.

17 . The electronic apparatus of claim 16 . wherein the first micro gap set divides the metal housing into the first metal region and a second metal region.

18 . The electronic apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the metal housing is a hack cover, a front housing, or a back cover having a metal frame, and wherein the first micro gap set laterally or longitudinally runs through the metal housing to divide the metal housing into the first metal region and the second metal region.

19 . The electronic apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the antenna structure further comprises:

a radio frequency transceiver circuit; and

a matching circuit located between, and electrically connected to, the radio frequency transceiver circuit and the antenna main body.

20 . The electronic apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the antenna structure further comprises a feed point disposed on the antenna main body.

21 . The electronic apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the first micro gap set is formed by arranging the first micro gaps at intervals.

22 . The electronic apparatus of claim 21 , further comprising a non-metal material filling in the first micro gaps.

23 . The electronic apparatus of claim 16 , wherein a width of one of the first micro gaps is less than 0.5 millimeters.
