Abstract

An antenna structure includes at least one radiation portion, first, second, and third feed sources, and first and second grounding portions. The at least one radiation portion is formed by a partial portion of the metal frame of the electronic device, the portion being defined by gaps. The first to third feed sources are arranged at intervals and are electrically connected to the at least one radiation portion in such a way as to make the radiation portion form a plurality of antennas. The first end of the first grounding portion is electrically connected to the radiation portion, the second end of the first grounding portion is grounded, the first end of the second grounding portion is electrically connected to the radiation portion, and the second end of the second grounding portion is grounded. The present disclosure also provides an electronic device with the antenna structure.
