Abstract

An electronic device includes a housing and an antenna structure. The housing includes a first slot and a second slot. The first slot and the second slot extend along a same direction. The first slot has a first closed end and a second closed end. The second slot has a third closed end and an open end. The antenna structure is disposed in the housing. The antenna structure includes a grounding element, a first radiating element, and a second radiating element. The first radiating element has a first end and a second end, the first end is connected to the grounding element, and the second end is located between the third closed end and the open end. An orthogonal projection of the first radiating element that is projected onto the housing overlaps with and crosses on the first slot.
