Abstract

The present disclosure provides an antenna assembly, including a metal back cover with a completely closed metal edge frame, and a circuit board provided in the metal back cover, the metal edge frame is provided with a gap along a circumferential direction of the metal edge frame; the circuit board is provided with a matching circuit, a headroom region is provided between the matching circuit and the metal edge frame, the matching circuit includes a grounding point and a feeding point which are electrically connected with the metal edge frame, respectively; the matching circuit and the gap form a three-in-one antenna, which includes GPS antenna, WIFI-2.4G antenna and WIFI-5G antenna, respectively. In the antenna assembly provided by the present disclosure, even the gap is provided on the metal edge frame, the requirements on strength of the metal back cover can also be met, thereby guaranteeing resistance on knocking.

Claims (15)

a metal back cover with a completely closed metal edge frame; and

a circuit board provided in the metal back cover,

wherein the metal edge frame is provided with a gap along a circumferential direction of the metal edge frame, the gap is provided on the metal frame;

the circuit board is provided with a matching circuit, a headroom region is provided between the matching circuit and the metal edge frame, the matching circuit comprises only one feeding point, the feeding point is electrically connected with the metal edge frame;

the matching circuit and the one gap form a three-in-one antenna, the three-in-one antenna includes a global positioning system (GPS) antenna, a wireless fidelity (WIFI)-2.4G antenna and a WIFI-5G antenna;

the metal edge frame comprises a top plate and a side plate bended and extended from an end of the top plate, the side plate comprises a bending section and a straight section, the top plate, the bending section and the straight section are successively connected; the gap is formed at the bending section and the straight section, or provided at the straight section;

two ends of the gap are respectively a first end adjacent to the top plate and a second end far away from the top plate, along a circumferential direction of the metal edge frame, an effective radiation path of the WIFI-2.4G antenna is a portion from the feeding point to the second end equivalent to the metal edge frame, an electrical length thereof is a half of a working frequency wavelength of the WIFI-2.4G antenna.

2. The antenna assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein the metal back cover further comprises a bottom, which is partially connected and partially disconnected with the metal edge frame along a circumferential direction of the metal edge frame, a disconnected portion forms the gap.

3. The antenna assembly as described in claim 1 , further comprising a middle frame, the middle frame is a metal frame installed in the metal back cover, the headroom region is formed between the middle frame and the metal edge frame.

4. The antenna assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein two ends of the gap are respectively a first end adjacent to the top plate and a second end far away from the top plate, along a circumferential direction of the metal edge frame, an effective radiation path of the GPS antenna is a portion from the first end to the second end equivalent to the metal edge frame, an electrical length thereof is a half of a working frequency wavelength of the GPS antenna.

5. The antenna assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein two ends of the gap are respectively a first end adjacent to the top plate and a second end far away from the top plate, along a circumferential direction of the metal edge frame, an effective radiation path of the WIFI-5G antenna is a portion from the first end to the second end equivalent to the metal edge frame, an electrical length thereof is a quarter of a working frequency wavelength of the WIFI-5G antenna.

6. The antenna assembly as described in claim 1 , wherein a width of the gap is 1.5-2 mm, the width is in a direction perpendicular to a circumferential direction of the metal edge frame.
