Abstract
An antenna for a mobile device includes a ground element, a substrate disposed over the ground element, a first radiating element having a feedpoint, a second radiating element coupled to the ground element and adjacent the first radiating element, and a connection metal element disposed on the substrate, and a coaxial cable, having central conductor coupled to the feedpoint, a shielding conductor, and an insulating outer layer, wherein the shielding conductor has a bare region, spaced from the feedpoint, that exposes a portion of the shielding conductor, and the portion of the shielding conductor is coupled through the connection metal element to the second radiating element.
Claims20
A mobile device, comprising:
- a ground element;
- a first radiating element with a feedpoint;
- a second radiating element coupled to the ground element and adjacent to the first radiating element, wherein the first radiating element together with the second radiating element form an antenna structure;
- a coaxial cable including a center wire, a conductive shell, and an insulating outer layer, wherein the center wire is coupled to the feedpoint, and the conductive shell is at least partly covered by the insulating outer layer;
- a connection metal element coupled to the second radiating element at a first end, and connected to the conductive shell of the coaxial cable at a second end via an exposed region of the conductive shell in which no insulating outer layer is disposed;
- and
- a dielectric substrate on which the first radiating element, the second radiating element, and the connection metal element are all disposed,
- wherein the connection metal element presents a meandering shape.
An antenna for a mobile device, the antenna comprising:
- a ground element;
- a substrate disposed adjacent the ground element;
- a first radiating element having a feedpoint, a second radiating element coupled to the ground element and adjacent the first radiating element, and a connection metal element, having a first end and a second end, all disposed on the substrate;
- and
- a coaxial cable, having central conductor coupled to the feedpoint, a shielding conductor, and an insulating outer layer,
- wherein the shielding conductor has a bare region, spaced from the feedpoint, that exposes a portion of the shielding conductor, and the portion of the shielding conductor is coupled through the connection metal element to the second radiating element, and
- wherein the connection metal element extends along a meandering path between the first end and the second end.
