Abstract

The present invention provides an antenna structure. The antenna structure includes a main board, at least having a signal feeding portion; a bearing component, connected to the main board and at least having a protrusive portion; and an antenna, connected to the bearing component and at least having a pin portion, wherein the pin portion is disposed on the protrusive portion, and the signal feeding portion and the pin portion contact with each other.

Claims (33)

1. An antenna structure, comprising:

a main board, at least having a signal feeding portion;

a bearing component, connected to the main board and at least having a protrusive portion; and

an antenna, connected to the bearing component and at least having a pin portion, wherein the pin portion is disposed on the protrusive portion, and the signal feeding portion and the pin portion contact with each other;

wherein the antenna structure is disposed in a mobile phone, the main board is a circuit board of the mobile phone, and the bearing component is an inner cover of the mobile phone.

2. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the protrusive portion is elastic, and wherein the protrusive portion deforms properly to make the signal feeding portion and the pin portion contact with each other tightly when the bearing component is connected to the main board.

3. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the protrusive portion is made of plastics.

4. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the protrusive portion is a hook-shaped protrusion.

5. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the protrusive portion is a plate spring.

6. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the antenna is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna adhesively connected to the bearing component.

7. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the antenna is a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA).

8. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the pin portion is adhesively connected to the protrusive portion.

9. The structure of claim 1 , wherein the pin portion covers the protrusive portion.

10. An antenna structure, comprising:

a main board, at least having a signal feeding portion;

a bearing component, connected to the main board and at least having a protrusive portion, wherein the protrusive portion is made of plastics; and

an antenna, connected to the bearing component and at least having a pin portion, wherein the pin portion is disposed on the protrusive portion, and the signal feeding portion and the pin portion contact with each other.

11. The structure of claim 10 , wherein the protrusive portion is elastic, and wherein the protrusive portion deforms properly to make the signal feeding portion and the pin portion contact with each other tightly when the bearing component is connected to the main board.

12. The structure of claim 10 , wherein the protrusive portion is a hook-shaped protrusion.

13. The structure of claim 10 , wherein the protrusive portion is a plate spring.

14. The structure of claim 10 , wherein the antenna is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna adhesively connected to the bearing component.

15. The structure of claim 10 , wherein the antenna is a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA).

16. The structure of claim 10 , wherein the pin portion covers the protrusive portion.

17. An antenna structure, comprising:

a main board, at least having a signal feeding portion;

a bearing component, connected to the main board and at least having a protrusive portion; and

an antenna, connected to the bearing component and at least having a pin portion, wherein the pin portion is disposed on the protrusive portion and is adhesively connected to the protrusive portion, and the signal feeding portion and the pin portion contact with each other.

18. The structure of claim 17 , wherein the protrusive portion is elastic, and wherein the protrusive portion deforms properly to make the signal feeding portion and the pin portion contact with each other tightly when the bearing component is connected to the main board.

19. The structure of claim 17 , wherein the protrusive portion is a hook-shaped protrusion.

20. The structure of claim 17 , wherein the protrusive portion is a plate spring.

21. The structure of claim 17 , wherein the antenna is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna adhesively connected to the bearing component.

22. The structure of claim 17 , wherein the antenna is a planar inverted-F antenna (PIFA).

23. The structure of claim 17 , wherein the pin portion covers the protrusive portion.
