Abstract

An antenna structure includes a first radiator, a first feed unit, and a second feed unit. The first radiator includes a first feed point and a second feed point. The first feed unit feeds the antenna structure at the first feed point, and the second feed unit feeds the antenna structure at the second feed point. The first feed point is disposed in a central region. The second feed point is disposed between the central region and an end of the first radiator.
