Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a first antenna unit, a second antenna unit, and a feeding unit. The first antenna unit includes a first phase shifting structure, wherein the first phase shifting structure includes a first pattern. The second antenna unit includes a second phase shifting structure, wherein the second phase shifting structure includes a second pattern. The feeding unit is coupled to the first antenna unit and the second antenna unit, wherein the first pattern is different from the second pattern.

Claims (37)

1. An electronic device, comprising:

a first antenna unit comprising a first phase shifting structure with a first pattern;

a second antenna unit comprising a second phase shifting structure with a second pattern; and

a feeding unit coupled to the first antenna unit and the second antenna unit, and comprising a first feeding structure and a second feeding structure, wherein the first pattern is different from the second pattern;

a first substrate;

a first feeding source coupled to the first feeding structure; and

a second feeding source coupled to the second feeding structure;

wherein the first phase shifting structure, the second phase shifting structure, the first feeding structure, and the second feeding structure are disposed on the first substrate;

wherein the feeding unit is disposed on the first substrate, and the first feeding source and the second feeding source are disposed on opposite sides of an identical surface of the first substrate.

2. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pattern and the second pattern are different in total length.

3. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pattern and the second pattern are different in area.

4. The electronic device according to claim 1 , wherein the first pattern and the second pattern are different in number of folding points.
