Abstract

A mobile communication device includes a ground plane, a dielectric substrate, and an antenna. The antenna is disposed on one surface of the dielectric substrate and includes a radiating portion, a feeding portion, and a shorting portion. The radiating portion includes a first radiating portion and a second radiating portion. The first radiating portion has at least one bending. One end of the first radiating portion is left open. The second radiating portion is a shunt metal strip. Both ends of the second radiating portion are electrically connected to the first radiating portion such that the second radiating portion forms a closed loop with a segment of the first radiating portion. The feeding portion couples the electromagnetic energy to the radiating portion through a coupling gap, and one end of the feeding portion is the antenna's feeding point. One end of the shorting portion is electrically connected to the radiating portion, and the other end of the shorting portion is electrically connected to the ground plane.

Claims (18)

1. A mobile communication device comprising:

a ground plane;

a dielectric substrate; and

an antenna having a first operating band and a second operating band, with the antenna disposed on the dielectric substrate and comprising:

a radiating portion comprising:

a first radiating portion having a first open end, a second open end, and at least one bend; and

a second radiating portion comprising a shunt metal strip with both ends of the shunt metal strip electrically connected to the first radiating portion respectively, wherein the second radiating portion forms a closed loop with a segment of the first radiating portion, with the second radiating portion having a length substantially equal to half of a total length of the closed loop, wherein the closed loop has the total length greater than four-tenths of a length of the first radiating portion;

a feeding portion disposed between the ground plane and the first open end of the first radiating portion and coupling electromagnetic energy to the radiating portion through a coupling gap, with one end of the feeding portion being an antenna's feeding point; and

a shorting portion having one end electrically connected to the radiating portion and another end electrically connected to the ground plane, wherein the one end of the shorting portion does not directly connect to the closed loop and is disposed between the closed loop and the first open end of the first radiating portion.

2. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first operating band comprises a frequency band of 698˜960 MHz, and wherein the second operating band comprises a frequency band of 1710˜2690 MHz.

3. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ground plane is a system ground plane of a mobile phone.

4. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the coupling gap is less than 1 mm.

5. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radiating portion, the feeding portion, and the shorting portion are on a same surface of the dielectric substrate.

6. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the dielectric substrate is a system circuit board of a mobile communication system.

7. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closed loop is in a rectangular shape or a portion of the closed loop is in an arc shape.

8. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one bend of the first radiating portion comprises two bends formed in a U shape, and wherein the second radiating portion is in an L shape.

9. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the ground plane is on a surface of the dielectric substrate.

10. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the radiating portion, the feeding portion, and the shorting portion do not overlap with the ground plane.
