Abstract

A mobile communication device includes a substrate, a metal frame, a feeding portion, and a parasitic portion. The substrate includes a ground plane and a non-ground area. The metal frame surrounds the substrate and includes a plurality of gaps to form a first frame element and a second frame element separated from each other. The first frame element is electrically connected to the ground plane. The feeding portion and the parasitic portion are located in the non-ground area. A first end of the feeding portion is configured to receive a feeding signal, and a second end of the feeding portion is an open end. The parasitic portion is electrically connected to the second frame element and the ground plane. The feeding portion, the second frame element, and the parasitic portion of the mobile communication device constitute a loop antenna.

Claims (19)

1. A mobile communication device, comprising:

a substrate, comprising a ground plane and a non-ground area;

a metal frame, surrounding the substrate, and comprising a plurality of gaps so as to form a first frame element and a second frame element separated from each other, wherein the first frame element is electrically connected to the ground plane;

a feeding portion, located in the non-ground area, wherein a first end of the feeding portion is configured to receive a feeding signal, and a second end of the feeding portion is an open end; and

a parasitic portion, located in the non-ground area and electrically connected to the second frame element and the ground plane,

wherein the feeding portion, the second frame element, and the parasitic portion of the mobile communication device constitute a loop antenna.

2. The mobile communication device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the loop antenna excites a first resonant mode through the feeding portion in order to receive or emit a first radio frequency signal, and a length of the feeding portion is ¼ a wavelength of the first radio frequency signal.

3. The mobile communication device as recited in claim 1 , wherein a first end of the parasitic portion is electrically connected to a first end of the second frame element, a second end of the parasitic portion is electrically connected to the ground plane, and a second end of the second frame element is an open end.

4. The mobile communication device as recited in claim 1 , wherein the loop antenna excites a second resonant mode through the second frame element and the parasitic portion in order to receive or emit a second radio frequency signal, and a length of a path extending from a second end of the second frame element to a second end of the parasitic portion along the second frame element and the parasitic portion is ¼ a wavelength of the second radio frequency signal.

5. The mobile communication device as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:

a support element, located on the non-ground area, wherein the feeding portion is located on a first surface of the support element, and the parasitic portion is located on the first surface and a second surface of the support element.

6. The mobile communication device as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:

an adjusting part, located in the non-ground area and electrically connected to the second frame element, wherein the adjusting part of the mobile communication device constitutes a part of the loop antenna.

7. The mobile communication device as recited in claim 6 , wherein a first end of the parasitic portion is electrically connected to a first end of the second frame element, a second end of the parasitic portion is electrically connected to the ground plane, a first end of the adjusting part is electrically connected to a second end of the second frame element, and a second end of the adjusting part is an open end.

8. The mobile communication device as recited in claim 6 , wherein the loop antenna excites a second resonant mode through the adjusting part, the second frame element, and the parasitic portion to receive or emit a second radio frequency signal, and a length of a path extending from a second end of the adjusting part to a second end of the parasitic portion along the adjusting part, the second frame element, and the parasitic portion is ¼ a wavelength of the second radio frequency signal.

9. The mobile communication device as recited in claim 6 , further comprising:

a support element, located on the non-ground area, wherein the feeding portion and the adjusting part are located on a first surface of the support element, and the parasitic portion is located on the first surface and a second surface of the support element.

10. The mobile communication device as recited in claim 1 , further comprising:

a transceiver, for providing the feeding signal.
