  • Publication number: 20190348762
    Abstract: An antenna apparatus and an electronic apparatus are provided. The electronic apparatus includes the antenna apparatus. The antenna apparatus includes a radiator, a first and a second impedance control circuit. The radiator receives and transmits a radio frequency (RF) signal. The first impedance control circuit is electrically connected to the radiator and transmits the RF signal. The second impedance control circuit includes an impedance matching circuit and an inductor. The first end of the impedance matching circuit is electrically connected to the radiator. The impedance matching circuit adjusts the impedance matching of the radiator and transmits a sensing signal. The inductor is electrically connected to the second end of the impedance matching circuit. The inductor transmits a sensing signal, and blocks the RF signal. Accordingly, the structures of the antenna and the circuit can be simplified, and the influence between the RF signal and the sensing signal can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 10454167
    Abstract: An antenna structure includes a substrate, a metal element, and a feeding element. The metal element has an open slot. The open slot forms a first resonant path. The substrate is disposed on the metal element. The feeding element is disposed on the substrate, and the metal element and the feeding element are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the substrate. The feeding element includes a feeding end and a shorting end electrically connected to the metal element. An orthogonal projection of the feeding element on the metal element is partially overlapped with the open slot. The feeding element forms a second resonant path extending from the feeding end to the shorting end. The antenna structure operates in a first band through the first resonant path and operates in a second band through the second resonant path.

  • Publication number: 20190305414
    Abstract: A communication apparatus, an electronic apparatus and an antenna adjustment method thereof are provided. The communication apparatus includes an antenna system, a tuning portion and a switch circuit. The antenna system includes at least two antenna units. The tuning portion is disposed between the at least two antenna units and includes at least two branch units. The switch circuit is coupled to the tuning portion. The switch circuit switches a conduction from a first one of the branch units to a second one of the branch units according to a switching signal. The switching signal is related to performances of the antenna system. Accordingly, a dynamic and flexible adjustment mechanism can be provided to increase throughput and improve users' internet experience.

  • Publication number: 20190237847
    Abstract: The disclosure provides an antenna module adapted for an electronic device having a metal casing. The antenna module includes an antenna structure and a slot structure. The antenna structure includes a radiation portion, a feeding portion, a ground portion and an extension portion, wherein the feeding portion, the ground portion and the extension portion are connected to the radiation portion. The slot structure has an open end and a closed end, wherein the open end of the slot structure is adjacent to the extension portion of the antenna structure. The antenna structure is excited and resonates to generate a first antenna resonant mode, and the slot structure is coupled to the antenna structure and resonates to generate a second antenna resonant mode.

  • Publication number: 20190229755
    Abstract: An antenna apparatus, an electronic apparatus and an antenna modification method are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a multiplexer and the antenna apparatus. The multiplexer combines a control signal and a first radio frequency (RF) signal to form a combination signal. The antenna apparatus includes a feeding portion, a de-multiplexer, a modification circuit and a radiation portion. The feeding portion receives the combination signal. The de-multiplexer separates the combination signal into the control signal and the first RF signal. The modification circuit receives the control signal and the first RF signal, and modifies an impedance. The first RF signal is influenced by the impedance to form a second RF signal. The radiation portion receives the second RF signal. Accordingly, merely single cable would be needed for feeding signals into the antenna apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20170207544
    Abstract: A slot antenna structure for an electronic tag includes a dielectric layer, a conductor layer, a slot area and a capacitance adjustment unit. The electronic tag includes an identification chip. The conductor layer is disposed on the dielectric layer. The slot area is disposed in the conductor layer and includes an open slot, an open end and at least one closed slot. The open end is located at an edge of the conductor layer and extends inwardly to form the open slot for disposing the identification chip. The open slot has two sidewalls, and the two sidewalls have at least one turning point at a bottom portion of the open slot to form the closed slot. The capacitance adjustment unit is disposed on a surface of the dielectric layer different from the conductor layer to correspond to the slot area, thereby generating a capacitance effect.
