Abstract

A monopole antenna for an electronic device includes a grounding element electrically connected to a ground, a radiating element including a first radiator and a second radiator for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal of a first frequency band, a coupling element electrically connected to the second radiator for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal of a second frequency band, and a feed-in element electrically connected between the second radiator of the radiating element and the grounding element for transmitting the wireless signals of the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

Claims (28)

1. A monopole antenna, for an electronic device, comprising:

a grounding element, electrically connected to a ground;

a radiating element, including a first radiator and a second radiator, for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal of a first frequency band;

a coupling element, electrically connected to the second radiator of the radiating element, for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal of a second frequency band; and

a feed-in element, electrically connected between the second radiator of the radiating element and the grounding element, for transmitting the wireless signals of the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

2. The monopole antenna of claim 1 , wherein the first radiator of the radiating element comprises:

a long side;

a short side, electrically connected between the long side and the second radiator.

3. The monopole antenna of claim 2 , wherein the long side is substantially perpendicular to the short side.

4. The monopole antenna of claim 2 , wherein widths of the long side and the short side relate to a housing of the electronic device.

5. The monopole antenna of claim 2 , wherein the coupling element extends along the long side from the second radiator.

6. The monopole antenna of claim 1 , wherein the second radiator of the radiating element conforms to a meander shape.

7. The monopole antenna of claim 1 , wherein the second frequency band is greater than the first frequency band.

8. An electronic device, comprising:

a monopole antenna, comprising:

a grounding element, electrically connected to a ground;

a radiating element, including a first radiator and a second radiator, for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal of a first frequency band;

a coupling element, electrically connected to the radiating element of the second radiator, for transmitting and receiving a wireless signal of a second frequency band;

a feed-in element, electrically connected between the radiating element of the second radiator and the grounding element, for transmitting the wireless signals of the first frequency band and the second frequency band; and

a radio-frequency (RF) processing unit, coupled to the feed-in element of the monopole antenna, for processing the wireless signals of the first frequency band and the second frequency band.

9. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the first radiator of the radiating element comprises:

a long side;

a short side, electrically connected between the long side and the second radiator.

10. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the long side is substantially perpendicular to the short side.

11. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein widths of the long side and the short side relate to a housing of the electronic device.

12. The electronic device of claim 9 , wherein the coupling element extends along the long side from the second radiator.

13. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the second radiator of the radiating element conforms to a meander shape.

14. The electronic device of claim 8 , wherein the second frequency band is greater than the first frequency band.
