Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a housing, an audio output device, and a radio frequency (RF) device. The housing includes at least a conductive first portion made of a conductive material, and the conductive first portion has an opening. The audio output device is disposed in the housing and corresponding to the opening to output an audio, a space exists between the audio output device and the housing, and the audio passes through the opening to be perceived by a listener outside the housing. The radio frequency (RF) device is disposed in the space for radiating a wireless signal under a coupling effect of the opening of the conductive first portion of the housing.
Claims20
An electronic device, including:
- a housing, the housing including at least a conductive first portion made of a conductive material, and the conductive first portion having an opening;
- an audio output device disposed in the housing and corresponding to the opening to output an audio, wherein a space exists between the audio output device and the housing, and the audio passes through the opening to be perceived by a listener outside the housing;
- and
- a radio frequency (RF) device disposed in the space for radiating a wireless signal within a frequency band correlated to a geometric parameter of the opening such that the RF device is inductive, the RF device forming a coupling effect with the opening of the conductive first portion of the housing at a resonance frequency of the frequency band.
A method for an electronic device, including:
- providing a housing including at least a conductive first portion made of a conductive material, and the conductive first portion having an opening;
- disposing an audio output device in the housing and corresponding to the opening to output an audio, wherein a space exists between the audio output device and the housing, and the audio passes through the opening to be perceived by a listener outside the housing;
- and
- disposing a radio frequency (RF) device disposed in the space for radiating a wireless signal within a frequency band which is correlated to a geometric parameter of the opening such that the RF device being inductive, forming a coupling effect with the opening of the conductive first portion of the housing at a resonance frequency of the frequency band.
A user terminal, comprising:
- a first body containing a display;
- and
- a second body connected to the first body through a connecting member, such that the first body and the second body are able to be relatively rotated through the connecting member,
- wherein the second body further includes:
- a housing, the housing including at least a conductive first portion made of a conductive material, and the conductive first portion having an opening;
- an audio output device disposed in the housing and corresponding to the opening to output an audio, wherein a space exists between the audio output device and the housing, and the audio passes through the opening to be perceived by a listener outside the housing;
- and
- a radio frequency (RF) device disposed in the space for radiating a wireless signal within a frequency band correlated to a geometric parameter of the opening such that the RF device is inductive, the RF device forming a coupling effect with the opening of the conductive first portion of the housing at a resonance frequency of the frequency band.
