Patent number: 10608327Abstract: An antenna structure requiring less installation space but providing 2G-5G wireless capabilities includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a ferrite beads module. The ferrite beads module connects between the first antenna and the second antenna. When the antenna structure operates at a first radiation frequency band, a connection between first antenna and second antenna is open, thus the second antenna operates independently. For a second radiation frequency band, the first antenna and the second antenna are shorted out and cooperatively transmit and receive wireless signals, frequencies of the first radiation frequency band being greater than frequencies of the second radiation frequency band. A wireless communication device employing the antenna structure is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2019Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD.Inventor: Chao-Wei Ho
