Abstract

Provided is an antenna device. The antenna device includes a first antenna. The first antenna includes a first radiator. The first radiator includes a first branch and a second branch that are connected to each other. The second branch bends and extends from an end of the first branch. The first antenna supports both a first operation mode and a second operation mode. The first antenna covers a bandwidth greater than 190 MHz by using the first operation mode and the second operation mode together. In addition, a mobile terminal is provided.
