Abstract

An antenna is provided. The antenna includes a feed-in terminal; a radiating portion extended from the feed-in terminal along a first direction to form a first hook portion; a connecting conductor extended from the feed-in terminal to a ground terminal along a second direction opposite to the first direction; and a ground portion extended from the ground terminal and having a cable grounding area, wherein the ground portion and the connecting conductor form a second hook portion opposite to the first hook portion; the cable grounding area has a longitudinal center line; and the first direction and the longitudinal center line form therebetween a specific angle ranging from 49-59 degrees.
