Abstract
An antenna for a foldable electronic device which functions equally well in both folded and unfolded states includes a rotating shaft and a housing. The overall housing is made of metallic material and includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing connects to the second housing through the rotating shaft. The housing further defines at least one group of slots to form at least one slot antenna. The at least one slot antenna crosses the rotating shaft and extends to the first housing and/or the second housing. By setting at least one slot antenna to correspond to the rotating shaft, the foldable electronic device achieves high radiation performance whether the first and second housing are folded or unfolded.
