  • Patent number: 8711043
    Abstract: A wideband antenna for a wireless communication device includes a grounding element, a radiating element, extending in a first direction, for transmitting and receiving wireless signals, a feed-in terminal electrically connected to the radiating element, for transmitting a feed-in signal to the radiating element, and a first parasitic radiating element, extending in the first direction, having a side separated from a side of the radiating element by a first distance, and another side separated from the grounding element by a second distance. The first distance allows the first parasitic radiating element and the radiating element to generate a coupling effect to form a slot antenna for transmitting and receiving wireless signals, and the second distance allows the first parasitic radiating element and the grounding element to generate a coupling effect to form a coupling path to the grounding element to increase bandwidth.

  • Publication number: 20130076575
    Abstract: A portable electronic apparatus with antenna structure is disclosed. The portable electronic apparatus includes an apparatus casing, an antenna structure, and an electronic component. The apparatus casing has an accommodating space and an appearance casing. The antenna structure is disposed adjacent to the appearance casing. The electronic component is disposed in the accommodating space and leaks electromagnetic wave during operation. Thereby, even though the electronic component leaks electromagnetic wave toward the antenna structure, the invention can reduce the influence on the antenna structure by the leaked electromagnetic wave by disposing the antenna structure as away from the electronic component as possible. Therefore, the antenna structure still can work normally during the operation of the electronic component, which solves the problem that an antenna structure of a conventional portable electronic apparatus is easily interrupted in the range of the leaked electromagnetic wave in the prior art.

  • Patent number: 7893877
    Abstract: An integrated antenna for WWAN, GPS, and WLAN includes a ground metal plane, a WWAN antenna, and a WLAN antenna. The WWAN antenna is connected to the ground metal plane and includes first and second radiating metal strips which induce a first resonance mode and a second resonance mode respectively. The WLAN antenna is connected to the ground metal plane and includes third and fourth radiating metal strips which induce a third resonance mode and a fourth resonance mode respectively. The integrated antenna can be used in WWAN and WLAN at the same time. The ground metal plane of the integrated antenna does not need to connect to a ground end of a wireless electronic device, and is used for grounding. Therefore, the integrated antenna can be mounted on any part of a wireless electronic device, and can have stable electrical characteristics.
