  • Patent number: 11018706
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide an antenna device that includes: a metal member configured to have a length that contributes to at least a part of an electronic device; a printed circuit board (PCB) configured to be feed-connected to a preset position of the metal member in order to apply the metal member as an antenna radiator; and at least one electronic component electrically connected to a position different from the feeding position of the metal member and grounded to the PCB, and provide an electronic device that includes the same. Accordingly, the antenna device is grounded to the PCB in a desired position of the metal member by using the basically provided electronic component so that it is possible to exclude a separate electrical connection member, thereby reducing the cost, increasing the use of space, enhancing the degree of freedom of the design of the antenna radiator.

  • Patent number: 10439268
    Abstract: One embodiment disclosed in the present disclosure may provide an antenna device that includes: a metal member that forms at least a part of an external housing for the electronic device; a printed circuit board (PCB) coupled to a feed connector of the metal member, such that the metal member is configured to operate as an antenna radiator for the PCB; and the metal member further including at least two grounding connectors that are coupled to ground through the PCB, wherein the feed connector and the two grounding connectors are located at different positions on the metal member, and may provide an electronic device that includes the same. Accordingly, it is possible to easily design an antenna that operates in a desired frequency band, to reduce the cost, to make the exterior of the device appealing due to the advantage of design, and to maximize the efficient use of space for the design of a multiband antenna.
