Abstract

An electronic device having an antenna comprises a first metal casing, a second metal casing, a first hinge, a second hinge, and a first dipole antenna. A first slot antenna structure having a first half-wavelength resonant mode is constituted by the first hinge, the first metal casing, the second hinge and the second metal casing. The width of a first middle portion of the first slot antenna structure is narrower than the widths of the two end portion. The first dipole antenna unit located in the middle portion of the first slot antenna structure has a second half-wavelength resonant mode. The first dipole antenna is for exciting the first half-wavelength resonant mode. Accordingly, the antenna can be integrated with the hinges of the electronic device.
