Abstract

An antenna module for a terminal includes an antenna and a Radiated Spurious Emission (RSE) improvement component. The antenna includes a feed source, a ground point, and at least one radiation arm. The RSE improvement component is coupled to the antenna for suppressing high order harmonics generated by the antenna when the antenna operates in a target frequency band, and includes a filter circuit configured to suppress the high order harmonics, and a control switch configured to control a working state of the filter circuit. The filter circuit can be a band stop filter circuit. The band stop filter circuit can be connected in series into the at least one target radiation arm of the antenna; or, a terminal of the band stop filter circuit is connected to the at least one target radiation arm of the antenna, and another terminal is connected to the feed source.
