Abstract
An antenna module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure enables the size of a wireless communication terminal to be reduced by the implementation, as a first antenna formed by an MID method and a second antenna formed on an FPCB, of the antenna module used in the wireless communication terminal. The antenna module is capable of performing a plurality of communication functions through a single antenna module by enabling the first antenna to function as a near-field communication (NFC) antenna and the second antenna to function as a magnetic secure transmission (MST) antenna.
Claims14
An antenna module comprising:
- a first antenna formed on one surface of an injection-molded product;
- a contact circuit formed on the other surface of the injection-molded product and electrically connected to the first antenna;
- and
- a shielding layer formed on the other surface of the injection-molded product at a position corresponding to the first antenna and configured to at least partially overlap the first antenna formed on one surface of the injection-molded product to shield electromagnetic waves,
- wherein the injection-molded product has a thickness greater than a sum of a thickness of the first antenna and a thickness of the shielding layer, so that the shielding layer is spaced apart from the first antenna by the thickness of the injection-molded product.
