Abstract
A mobile device includes a metal body element, a feeding element, and a second antenna. The metal body element is substantially a planar structure and has a slot, wherein a first antenna is formed by the slot of the metal body element. The feeding element extends across the slot of the metal body element, and is coupled to a first signal source. The second antenna is substantially located inside the slot of the metal body element, and is coupled to a second signal source. The slot is used as a portion of a resonant structure of the second antenna in order to reduce a total size of the first antenna and the second antenna.
