Abstract

A mobile communication device including a ground plane, a radiation element and a resonant circuit is provided. The radiation element is electrically connected to the ground plane. The resonant circuit is electrically connected to the radiation element and receives a feeding signal. The resonant circuit and the radiation element resonate at a resonant frequency and excite the ground plane to generate a resonant mode.

Claims (17)

a ground plane;

a radiation element having a first terminal directly connected to the ground plane, and providing an inductance; and

a resonant circuit having a first terminal electrically connected to a second terminal of the radiation element and a second terminal receiving a feeding signal, and providing a capacitance, wherein the resonant circuit and the radiation element are electrically connected in series between the feeding signal and the ground plane to form an antenna element having a loop antenna structure, the antenna element acts as a resonator and resonates at a resonant frequency determined by the inductance and the capacitance, the antenna element excites the ground plane, the ground plane generates a resonant mode in response to the excitation of the antenna element, and the resonant circuit comprises:

a first capacitive element having a first terminal electrically connected to the radiation element, and a second terminal configured to receive the feeding signal; and

a first inductive element electrically connected between the first terminal of the first capacitive element and the radiation element.

2. The mobile communication device of claim 1 , wherein the antenna element is a ground plane antenna and radiates through the resonant mode generated by the ground plane.

3. The mobile communication device of claim 2 , wherein a length of a resonant path of the antenna element is 0.1 to 0.2 times a wavelength of the resonant frequency.

5. The mobile communication device of claim 4 , wherein the matching circuit comprises:

a second inductive element having a first terminal electrically connected to the resonant circuit, and a second terminal receiving the feeding signal; and

a third inductive element electrically connected between the first terminal of the second inductive element and the ground plane.

6. The mobile communication device of claim 5 , wherein the matching circuit further comprises a second capacitive element electrically connected between the second terminal of the second inductive element and the ground plane.

7. The mobile communication device of claim 4 , wherein the matching circuit comprises:

a second inductive element having a first terminal electrically connected to the resonant circuit, and a second terminal receiving the feeding signal; and
