Hybrid antenna structure
A hybrid antenna structure includes a first metal element, a second metal element, a third metal element, a cable, and a proximity sensor. The first metal element has a feeding point. The second metal element is adjacent to and separate from the first metal element. A coupling gap is formed between the second metal element and the first metal element. The third metal element is coupled to a connection point on the second metal element. The proximity sensor is coupled through the cable to the third metal element. The second metal element and the third metal element are used as both a sensing pad and a radiation element.
