Abstract
An electronic device may include a housing including a first cover, a second cover, and a slot positioned in a first side surface. A first antenna is positioned between a first inner surface and a second inner surface, facing the slot, and configured to operate in a first frequency band, and a second antenna is positioned between the first inner surface and the second inner surface, facing the first antenna, and configured to operate in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band.
Claims14
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- a first cover comprising a first outer surface, a first inner surface opposite to the first outer surface, and a first side surface between the first outer surface and the first inner surface;
- a second cover comprising a second outer surface and a second inner surface opposite to the second outer surface and facing the first inner surface;
- and
- a slot positioned extending between the first inner surface of the first cover and the second inner surface of the second cover;
- a first antenna module positioned in the housing between the first inner surface and the second inner surface and facing the slot, the first antenna module configured to operate in a first frequency band, wherein the first frequency band is a mmWave band;
- a second antenna module positioned in the housing between the first inner surface and the second inner surface and facing the first antenna module, the second antenna module configured to operate in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band, wherein the second frequency band is a band except for the mm Wave band,
- wherein the first antenna module is arranged directly adjacent to the slot and directly adjacent to the second antenna module such that the first antenna module is disposed directly between the slot and the second antenna module.
An electronic device, comprising:
- a housing comprising:
- a first cover comprising a first outer surface, a first inner surface opposite to the first outer surface, and a first side surface between the first outer surface and the first inner surface;
- a second cover comprising a second outer surface and a second inner surface opposite to the second outer surface and facing the first inner surface;
- and
- a slot positioned extending between the first inner surface of the first cover and the second inner surface of the second cover;
- a first antenna module positioned in the housing between the first inner surface and the second inner surface and facing the slot, the first antenna module configured to operate in a first frequency band, wherein the first frequency band is a mmWave band;
- a second antenna module positioned in the housing between the first inner surface and the second inner surface and facing the first antenna module, the second antenna module configured to operate in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band, wherein the second frequency band is a band except for the mmWave band;
- a support structure, positioned between the first inner surface and the second inner surface, configured to support at least one of the first antenna module or the second antenna module;
- and
- a ground sheet at least partially enclosing the support structure and connected to the second antenna module,
- wherein the support structure comprises a metal bracket, and
- wherein the first antenna module is arranged directly adjacent to the slot and directly adjacent to the second antenna module such that the first antenna module is disposed directly between the slot and the second antenna module.
