Abstract

An electronic device is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electronic device includes a housing, a first antenna module, a second antenna module, and a shared frame. The housing has an accommodating space. The shared frame is arranged in the accommodating space and comprises a first and a second support portion. The first antenna module is arranged on the first support portion, and the second antenna module is arranged on the second support portion. The first antenna module is for transmitting and receiving a signal of a first frequency band. The second antenna module is for transmitting and receiving a signal of a second frequency band. A virtual reference surface is defined below the housing, and a projection range of the first antenna module on the virtual reference surface partially overlaps with a projection range of the second support portion on the virtual reference surface.

Claims (13)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a housing, having a side, the side having an accommodating space;

a shared frame, arranged in the accommodating space, the shared frame comprising a first support portion and a second support portion;

a first antenna module, arranged in the accommodating space on the first support portion, for transmitting and receiving a signal of a first frequency band; and

a second antenna module, arranged in the accommodating space on the second support portion, for transmitting and receiving a signal of a second frequency band;

wherein a virtual reference surface is defined below the housing, at least a part of the second support portion is arranged perpendicular to the virtual reference surface, and a projection range of the first antenna module on the virtual reference surface in a direction perpendicular to the virtual reference surface partially overlaps with a projection range of the perpendicular part of the second support portion on the virtual reference surface in the direction perpendicular to the virtual reference surface.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first frequency band comprises a 2.4 GHz frequency band and a 5 GHz frequency band, and the second frequency band comprises a 13.56 MHz frequency band.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first antenna module is substantially parallel to the virtual reference surface, and the second antenna module is substantially perpendicular to the virtual reference surface.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first antenna module and the second antenna module have different polarization forms.

5. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first antenna module is linearly polarized, and the second antenna module is circularly polarized.

6. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a first communication circuit coupled to the first antenna module; wherein the first communication circuit performs communication by the first antenna module according to a first communication protocol, and the first communication protocol complies with a wireless local area network (LAN) communication protocol.

7. The electronic device according to claim 1 , further comprising a second communication circuit coupled to the second antenna module; wherein the second communication circuit performs communication by the second antenna module according to a second communication protocol, and the second communication protocol complies with a radio-frequency identification (RFID) communication protocol.

8. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the second support portion is L-shaped, the second antenna module is formed of a flexible material, and the second antenna module covers the second support portion and is L-shaped.
