## Abstract

A mobile device supporting wideband operations includes a first metal mechanism element, a dielectric substrate, a first feeding radiation element, a second feeding radiation element, a ground element, and a second metal mechanism element. The first metal mechanism element includes a main portion and a sidewall portion. The sidewall portion of the first metal mechanism element has a first slot. Both the first feeding radiation element and the second feeding radiation element extend across the first slot of the first metal mechanism element. An antenna structure is formed by the first slot of the first metal mechanism element, the dielectric substrate, the first feeding radiation element, the second feeding radiation element, and the ground element. The second metal mechanism element is disposed opposite to the main portion of the first metal mechanism element. The second metal mechanism element has a second slot.
