Abstract

A mobile device includes a metal body element, a feeding element, and a second antenna. The metal body element is substantially a planar structure and has a slot, wherein a first antenna is formed by the slot of the metal body element. The feeding element extends across the slot of the metal body element, and is coupled to a first signal source. The second antenna is substantially located inside the slot of the metal body element, and is coupled to a second signal source. The slot is used as a portion of a resonant structure of the second antenna in order to reduce a total size of the first antenna and the second antenna.

Claims (20)

1. A mobile device, comprising:

a metal body element, being substantially a planar structure, and having a slot, wherein a first antenna is formed by the slot of the metal body element;

a feeding element, extending across the slot of the metal body element, and coupled to a first signal source; and

a second antenna, substantially located inside the slot of the metal body element, and coupled to a second signal source,

wherein the slot is used as a portion of a resonant structure of the second antenna in order to reduce a total size of the first antenna and the second antenna;

wherein the mobile device is a smart phone, a tablet computer, or a notebook computer;

wherein the metal body element is a portion of a housing of the mobile device;

wherein the second antenna has a vertical projection on the metal body element, and the vertical projection is completely inside the slot.

2. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a first coaxial cable, coupled between the feeding element and the first signal source.

3. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a second coaxial cable, coupled between the second antenna and the second signal source.

4. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a dielectric substrate, wherein the second antenna is disposed on the dielectric substrate.

5. The mobile device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the dielectric substrate and the metal body element are located on different planes.

6. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slot of the metal body element substantially has an L-shape.

7. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slot of the metal body element substantially has a rectangular shape.

8. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the slot of the metal body element comprises a wide portion and a narrow portion, and the second antenna is substantially located inside the wide portion.

9. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first antenna is excited to generate a first band, and the first band is approximately from 1570 MHz to 1580 MHz.

10. The mobile device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second antenna is excited to generate a second band and a third band, and the second band is approximately from 2400 MHz to 2484 MHz, and the third band is approximately from 5150 MHz to 5850 MHz.
