Abstract

An antenna structure and a mobile device including the same are provided. The antenna structure is arranged on a metal cover with an opening slot, and includes a radiator, a feeding part, a grounding element, a grounding parasitic element, an extending parasitic element, a substrate, and a matching circuit. The radiator extends along a first direction, and the feeding part is connected to the radiator and extends towards a second direction. The grounding parasitic element includes a branch part and a parasitic element body. The branch part extends from a grounding point towards the opening slot. The parasitic element body is connected to the grounding element through the branch part and extends towards a first direction. The extending parasitic element extends along the first direction. The matching circuit is electrically connected to the radiator, the grounding element, the grounding parasitic element, and the extending parasitic element.
