Abstract

An antenna module, including a feed point, a ground plane, a main radiator, and a parasitic radiator, is provided. The main radiator includes a first portion, a second portion, and a third portion. The first portion and the second portion extend from the feed point and meet at an intersection after turning. The third portion has a first section and a second section. The first section of the third portion is connected to the intersection, and the second section is connected to the ground plane. The parasitic radiator is connected to the second section and extends towards the first section of the third portion and keeps a coupling gap away from the first section.
