Abstract

An electronic device having antenna structure is provided. The electronic device includes a first body, a pivot assembly, a second body and an antenna structure. The pivot assembly is pivoted to the first body along a first axis. The second body is pivoted to the pivot assembly along a second axis. The antenna structure is disposed in the pivot assembly and has a first radiation portion, a second radiation portion and a third radiation portion. The first radiation portion and the second radiation portion have a slot therebetween to form a slot antenna. The third radiation portion forms a monopole antenna and is aligned to the slot. The third radiation portion and the slot are not coplanar.

Claims (18)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a first body;

a pivot assembly, pivoted to the first body along a first axis;

a second body, pivoted to the pivot assembly along a second axis;

at least one antenna structure, disposed in the pivot assembly and having a first radiation portion, a second radiation portion and a third radiation portion, wherein the first radiation portion and the second radiation portion have a slot therebetween to form a slot antenna, the third radiation portion forms a monopole antenna and is aligned to the slot, and the third radiation portion and the slot are not coplanar,

wherein the antenna structure has a connecting section, the connecting section is connected with the first radiation portion and located in the slot, the third radiation portion comprises a first section and a second section that are bent with each other, and the first section is connected between the connecting section and the second section.

2. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second body is opened from or closed to the first body through a relative pivoting between the first body and the pivot assembly along the first axis.

3. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the first axis is perpendicular to the second axis.

4. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pivot assembly has a metal shaft, the antenna structure has a grounding portion, and the grounding portion is connected to the metal shaft.

5. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , wherein a length of the slot is equal to one-fourth or one-half of a wavelength of a first signal, a length of the third radiation portion equals to one-fourth of a wavelength of a second signal.

6. The electronic device as recited in claim 5 , wherein a frequency of the second signal is greater than a frequency of the first signal.

7. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , further comprising a cable, wherein the cable comprises a signal line and a ground line, the connecting section has a feed point, the second radiation portion has a ground point, the signal line is connected to the feed point, and the ground line is connected to the ground point.

8. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pivot assembly has a plastic casing, and the antenna structure is disposed on the plastic casing.

9. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the pivot assembly has a metal casing, and the antenna structure is disposed on the metal casing.

10. The electronic device as recited in claim 9 , wherein the pivot assembly has a plastic member, and the plastic member is engaged in the metal casing and aligned to the slot.

11. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the second radiation portion has a folded wall.

12. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the slot has an open end, the antenna structure has a feed point in the slot, and a width of the slot gradually increases from the feed point towards the open end.

13. The electronic device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the slot is a closed slot.
