Abstract

A wireless communication device is provided. The wireless communication device comprises a circuit board and a loop antenna. The circuit board includes a wireless communication circuit. The wireless communication circuit includes a signal transmitting end and a ground terminal. The loop antenna includes a conductive loop, a feed portion, a first short-circuit portion and a second short-circuit portion. The feed portion is connected between the conductive loop and the signal transmitting end. The first short-circuit portion and the second short-circuit portion are connected between the conductive loop and the ground terminal, respectively.

Claims (13)

1. A wireless communication device comprising:

a circuit board including a wireless communication circuit, the wireless communication circuit includes a signal transmitting end and a ground terminal; and

a loop antenna including a conductive loop, a feed portion, a first short-circuit portion and a second short-circuit portion, the feed portion is connected between the conductive loop and the signal transmitting end, and the first short-circuit portion and the second short-circuit portion are connected between the conductive loop and the ground terminal, respectively;

a ground loop disposed around the circuit board;

a third short-circuit portion connected between the ground loop and the ground terminal for allowing electro-static discharge (ESD) or electro-magnetic interference (EMI) to flow to the ground terminal via a shortest, low impedance path to the ground terminal;

wherein a distance between the first short-circuit portion and the feed portion is within 0.1 times of a wavelength corresponding to an operating frequency of the loop antenna, and a distance between the second short-circuit portion and the feed portion is within 0.5 times of the wavelength corresponding to the operating frequency of the loop antenna.

2. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the first short-circuit portion or the second short-circuit portion further includes a matching component, and the matching component includes at least a capacitor or an inductor.

3. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein a vertical projection of the conductive loop is located outside of the vertical projection of the circuit board.

4. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the loop antenna and the circuit board are located in different planes.

5. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the projection of the third short-circuit portion onto the conductive loop is located between the projection of the first short-circuit portion and the second short-circuit portion onto the conductive loop.

6. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the projection of the third short-circuit portion onto the conductive loop is located between the projection of the feed portion and the second short-circuit portion onto the conductive loop.

7. The wireless communication device according to claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication device further includes a conductive band, and the conductive band is connected to an outer side of the ground loop and extends outward.

8. The wireless communication device according to claim 7 , wherein a length of the conductive band is shorter or equal to a quarter of the wavelength corresponding to the operating frequency of the loop antenna.
