Abstract

An electronic device including an antenna structure and a switching circuit is provided. The antenna structure includes a first radiating element, a second radiating element, a feeding element and a grounding element. The first radiating element incudes a first radiating part and a feeding part. The second radiating element is coupled with the first radiating element, and includes a main body and an arm that is electrically connected to the switching circuit. The feeding element includes a feeding end electrically connected to the feeding part, and a grounding end electrically connected to the grounding element. The antenna structure generates a first operation bandwidth and second operation bandwidth when the switching circuit is switched to a first and second mode, respectively. A central frequency of the first operation bandwidth is different from that of the second operation bandwidth.
