Abstract

A wireless communication device includes a shell having a first shielding surface for shielding electromagnetic waves, a data processing module, a wireless communication module connected to the data processing module, and an antenna module disposed on the shell and connected to the wireless communication module. The antenna module has a first antenna unit and a second antenna unit. The first shielding surface shields the first antenna unit from the second antenna unit.

Claims (24)

1. A wireless communication device for transmitting multiple electromagnetic waves within a frequency band wherein the frequency band comprises multiple frequency channels, comprising:
